This GPS features a TracBack function that allows you to retrace your steps and a trip computer calculates distance, time and more for easy trip review. The barometric altimeter and compass enhance your navigational abilities while hiking or camping.
A: The 401 will not show maps, what it will do is save way points, make a breadcrump path, give you a route if you upload one and show you your current location in coordinates. if she wants a GPS that will show her city and topographic maps of the surrounding area this is not the device for her. if she wants to track runs and be able to find her way back to her start point this will work perfectly.
