GPS stocking stuffers

Got a GPS lover in your house? Here are some great, smaller items they are bound to love.

Auto GPS stocking stuffers

• Friction mount – My number one choice in this category. No more suction cups falling off or windshield residue to attract thieves. Friction mounts rock. (More info)
• GPS carrying case – My office mate just cracked the screen on her nuvi 855; ouch! Now that’s a rare occurrence, but scratches aren’t.
• GPS map update – Not ready to spring for a new unit? Update the old one.

• Eneloop rechargeable batteries – My top pick in the handheld category is great for anyone that runs through batteries, whether in a GPS, camera, or what have you. These low-discharge batteries hold their charge very well in storage, so you don’t need to "top them off" before hitting the trail. Better get eight; they’ll love them that much. (More info)
• Geomate.jr – With 250,000 preloaded caches, this is the perfect gift for the geocacher. Keep it in the glove compartment for those serendipitous moments when they weren’t expecting to be able to cache. (More info)
• invisibleSHIELD – Protect that new GPS! Handhelds get used in tough environments and scratches are commonplace. (More info)
• Garmin TOPO 24K maps – Now available for almost the entire US, these maps combine 1:24,000 scale topo maps with City Navigator routing, turning compatible units into turn-by-turn navigators for your car.
