GPS Navigator

[Me1bourne]

Hi guys  

Planning to buy GPS Navigator ( Garmin 57LM )
Never used them before, so prepare for my noob questions:

1) Can I use it without a car? When hiking and etc.

2) Battery life? How long It will last without a car?

3) Works without internet? (maps loading in new locations)


It's not for Pokemon GO  Planning to trip  and don't wan't to use phone as a gps.
 

Thanks!!!

You can, it has a built in lithium battery, but if you need more power you can use a power bank and a mini USB cable(I'm not sure how long the internal battery lasts, probably a few hours if I had to guess). This device does not use internet(at all, only GPS) so as long as you have a GPS signal you will be fine, but in order to update the maps you have to use a micro SD card.

Thank you! So I can be in the middle of field, and still it will show me my location? I thought it only works on the road..

Thank you so much:)

They are intended to be used on the road, but you can take them anywhere(anywhere with signal). If you go into a field it will show you going off the road like Google Maps would.
