As Chris Hall over on the pocket-lint.com website recently noted, each of the four devices differ in regards to specs, increasing in functionality as you go up a model. The entry-level model is the eXplorist GC, a dedicated geocaching device that features a 2.2-inch display and simple controls.

Stepping up in the range are the three other models: the eXplorist 510, 610 and 710, which all feature a 3-inch touch screen and a camera, which enables you to take quick geotagged photographs. These models also come with a speaker and microphone, enabling users to make voice notes.

Meanwhile, both the 610 and 710 offer enhanced navigation features such as a 3-axis electronic compass, a Summit Series Topographical map and a barometric altimeter. The 710 also provides users with turn-by-turn street navigation. All 4 devices run on AA batteries and feature a mini-USB connection.

As for pricing, the eXplorist GC is priced up at £179.99, the 510 is £299.99, the 610 has been priced up at £399.99 and the top of the range 710 model is £499.99. Are you thinking about buying a new handheld GPS device?
