Kyle relies exclusively on Suunto technology for his GPS needs. Specifically, the X10 Wrist Computer (that’s mountaineering speak for, “Fancy GPS Watch,”) is what allows him to accurately record his speed, distance, and altitude, as well as later producing those cool Google Earth maps you see in his trip reports.
But that’s not all this watch/computer/GPS unit can do! Lost in a whiteout and can’t tell what’s up and down anymore? Luckily you have the to help you navigate back to basecamp! Feeling like recording massive amounts of data? The X10 can plot your speed and altitude. Want to see if it really is -10 outside or if it just feels that way? The X10 will let you know.
