Handheld GPS Navigation

Turn your national park vacation into an educational experience by renting a GPS Ranger, a handheld navigation device that provides the story behind park scenery

Imagine having your own handheld navigation system when touring national parks. By renting a GPS Ranger when visiting Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon Park and Grand Canyon National Park’s North Rim, you can become your own group tour guide. Using GPS coordinate recognition, the handheld tour device delivers video presentations about a viewpoint, natural landmark, historical structure, or other point of interest as you approach it on the trail or road. When you carry a GPS Ranger on your national park vacation, you not only see incredible landscapes, you also learn the story behind them.

When carrying a GPS Ranger while touring the North Rim, you will learn fascinating information about the park’s wildlife, history, and geology. For example, when you approach Grand Canyon Lodge, you will learn the story behind its construction. You will find out that it was a project of the Union Pacific Railroad in the 1920s and designed by renowned architect Gilbert Stanley Underwood. With the handheld navigation guide system in your hand, you will learn fascinating background information about other points of interest in the park, including Bright Angel Point and Point Imperial.

When you carry a GPS park guide, you do not need to go on a park ranger-led tour. Instead, you can lead your own tour and go at your own pace, stopping often to take photographs or just to pause and admire the awe-inspiring views, whether you are at Cape Royal in the North Rim, Canyon Overlook in Zion, or Sunrise Point in Bryce Canyon. By renting a GPS Ranger, you will turn your national park vacation into an educational experience!
