In this month’s GPS Training Podcast, Jon and Andy are back together — and there’s plenty to talk about!

• First thoughts on the Garmin GPSMAP H1 / H1i Plus
  
  We take Garmin’s brand-new handheld out into the field and share our first impressions: the rugged build, touchscreen performance, new features like the flashlight and siren, and whether it’s worth upgrading if you already own a GPSMAP 67i.

• Andy’s Windermere Lap adventure
  
  Andy laced up for a full circuit of England’s largest lake. We cover the distance, terrain, highlights, and the gear he used along the way — plus tips if you’re tempted to take on the challenge yourself.

• New launch: Suunto Vertical 2
  
  Released yesterday, the Vertical 2 brings a stunning AMOLED screen, offline mapping, colour elevation plots, and OS grid references right on your wrist. Andy’s been testing it — hear his verdict on usability, battery life, and whether it’s worth the upgrade.

• New launch: Garmin eTrex Touch
