The SporTrak Map ATV GPS Value Pack helps ATV enthusiasts navigate to their favorite hunting or camping spot or simply enjoy off-road riding without worrying about finding their way back. It contains a SporTrak Map, MapSend Topo for the software, a bike mount, power cable with cigarette lighter adapter, and two AA batteries.
