Celtic Surveys supplies leisure and sport equipment for outdoor navigation, distance measurement and recreational activities. The range includes handheld GPS units, golf rangefinders, compasses and clinometers for users who need practical equipment for navigating, measuring distance or checking slope and inclination outdoors.
Our outdoor recreation equipment includes straightforward handheld tools as well as electronic instruments with additional navigation and measurement functions. The right option depends on the activity, the information required and the conditions in which the equipment will be used.
Outdoor Recreation Equipment for Navigation and Measurement
Outdoor activities can involve several different types of measurement and navigation. A golfer may need a quick distance reading to a target, while walkers and outdoor users may require GPS positioning or a compass for route finding. Other field activities may involve checking slope, inclination or height.
Rather than one instrument covering every task, each type of equipment is designed around a particular purpose. Comparing the activity and the information needed first makes it easier to select the right equipment.
Golf Rangefinders
Golf Rangefinders provide distance measurements to suitable targets on the golf course.
Laser rangefinders allow the user to aim at a target and obtain a distance reading from their current position. Depending on the model, additional functions may be available to support golf course use.
When comparing golf rangefinders, consider the stated measuring range, display, magnification, target acquisition and other model-specific functions. A compact design can also make the instrument easier to carry during a round.
Handheld GPS
GPS units provide position and navigation information for outdoor activities where a portable device is required.
The Celtic Surveys range includes handheld GPS models suitable for outdoor navigation and route-based use. Depending on the unit, functions may include mapping, route recording, waypoint storage, satellite communication or additional sensors.
A handheld GPS can be useful for walking, hiking and other outdoor activities where users need to follow a route or record locations while away from fixed infrastructure.
When selecting an outdoor GPS, consider screen size, mapping functions, battery requirements, satellite support and the type of navigation needed. Some models are designed primarily for straightforward handheld navigation, while others provide additional communication or mapping capabilities.
Compasses
Compasses provide a simple and portable way to establish direction and work with bearings during outdoor navigation.
They are useful for map reading, route planning and general field navigation, either as a primary navigation tool or alongside electronic equipment.
Different compass designs suit different uses. Baseplate models are practical for working directly with maps, while sighting and mirror compasses provide additional features for taking bearings. Compact compasses are also available where portability is the main requirement.
When choosing a compass, consider how it will be used, whether map work is required and whether additional sighting features would be useful.
Clinometers
Clinometers are used to measure slope and inclination and, depending on the instrument and method, can also support height-related measurements.
These compact instruments can be useful for outdoor activities and fieldwork where an angle or gradient needs to be checked. The range includes electronic models designed to provide clear readings of inclination.
When comparing clinometers, consider the measurement required, display type, measuring range and whether additional height-measurement functions are needed.
Choosing Leisure & Sport Equipment
The most suitable outdoor recreation equipment depends on the activity and the type of information you need.
For distance measurement on a golf course, a golf rangefinder provides a dedicated solution. For route finding and position information over larger outdoor areas, a handheld GPS may be more appropriate. Compasses provide straightforward directional navigation, while clinometers are designed for slope and inclination measurement.
Other points to consider include:
- Type of outdoor activity
- Measuring or navigation function required
- Working range
- Display and readability
- Size and portability
- Battery requirements for electronic equipment
- Mapping or GPS functions where required
- Outdoor working conditions
Choosing equipment around the actual task helps avoid paying for functions that are not required while ensuring the instrument provides the information needed.
