Just following your nose is not recommended when outdoors. Accurate data on distances, altitude, or your current location is important and can help you on hikes, treks, or expeditions, and not just in an emergency. Above all, it helps you navigate: whether it's a compass or navigation device, altimeter, or binoculars—all these devices help you find your way around outdoors better and faster, so you can actually reach your destination.
If you want to keep an eye on your fitness, professional devices such as pedometers or multisport watches that measure your vital signs are just right for you. At Transa, you'll find the right model for your next tour.
If you always want to know exactly where you are when hiking or cycling, a GPS device is indispensable. It shows you your current position at all times, helping you to find the right path and stick to your planned route. Transa offers a range of devices that allow you to determine your position. Depending on the model, they have different functions – always tailored to your specific activity.
GPS technology is also important in an emergency; it can even save your life or that of your companions. If help needs to be called while you are out and about because someone is too seriously injured to make it on their own, GPS emergency transmitters are ideal. These allow you to send an emergency signal, which is then forwarded to a rescue team. The team receives your exact location and can send a team to the right place. Some devices are also designed so that not only can a signal be received, but communication between the injured person or their companions and the rescue team is also possible. This way, the person in distress knows that help is already on the way.
Do you prefer hiking and trekking tours where you still use a classic hiking map? An additional compass, which we offer in various versions, is a good aid for orientation. If the GPS device has no reception, the map and compass will always keep you on the right track.
If you want to monitor your fitness during outdoor tours or evaluate your training progress later, a multisport watch is the right choice for you. While a pedometer, depending on the model, only counts steps and perhaps records a few vital signs, a multisport watch is equipped with significantly more functions. Depending on the model, these may include a compass, altimeter, GPS, and many other features.
When you're out and about in the mountains, an altimeter is important. This is because as altitude increases, the oxygen content decreases and your body is exposed to greater stress. In order to recognize the dreaded altitude sickness in time, it is important that you know the exact altitude and reduce it quickly if you experience any symptoms. You can choose from special analog altimeters, or you can opt for a sports watch with an integrated altimeter function.
