Since its soft and bendable it’s easy to place it directly on to your route on the map Explorer Pro features DryFlex™ grip for easy handling, a clinometer for measuring slope angle and comes with a built-in adjuster for magnetic declination. It also features map-measuring in mm, inches, scales of 1:25k, 1:40k 1:50k, 1:24k USGS scale and GPS scales.
