One team, two ways to buy
Outdoor GPS Shop vs GPS Training
Same expert team. Same genuine GPS units and watches. The only real difference is whether you want the training and support bundled in, or the lowest possible price. Here is how to choose.
What is the difference?
Why do we have two websites selling the same products?
If you have found both Outdoor GPS Shop and GPS Training, you may be wondering why we run two websites selling the same GPS units, GPS watches and satellite communicators.
The answer is simple. Both websites are owned and run by Shepherds Walks Ltd , from the same office in Northumberland, by the same knowledgeable team. Both sell the same genuine products from leading manufacturers, including Garmin, Suunto and TwoNav, with the same full warranty.
Outdoor GPS Shop
The lowest price. Genuine products, checked and set up ready to go, with training and support available to add only if you want it.
GPS Training
Everything included. Your device plus a Gold Support Package worth £145 — setup, training and expert help getting the most from it, all free.
The same trusted team
Whichever website you choose, your order is handled by the same Northumberland-based experts, with the same genuine products and warranty.

Option one
Outdoor GPS Shop
Outdoor GPS Shop exists to do one thing brilliantly: offer genuine GPS units, GPS watches and satellite communicators at the best possible price.
Many of our customers already know exactly which model they want and are happy learning the finer features themselves. They would rather not pay for a support package they will not use — but they still want to buy from an experienced specialist, not a faceless online retailer.
Every compatible GPS unit or GPS watch bought from Outdoor GPS Shop is:
- Checked and tested before it is dispatched
- Prepared and set up ready to use
- Supplied with our Quick Start Guide
- Sent quickly from our Northumberland office
- Backed by the same full manufacturer warranty
And you are never left on your own. If you decide you would like a hand, you can add a training course or support package at any time — you simply choose what you need, rather than paying for it up front.
Option two
GPS Training
GPS Training is the UK's largest retailer and trainer of outdoor GPS devices — and the clue is in the name. We do not just send you a box with a GPS in it. We set the device up, support you and teach you how to use it, all at no extra cost.
Every GPS unit and GPS watch comes with our Gold Support Package, worth £145, included free. It is designed to get you confidently up and running, especially if this is your first GPS or you are moving from map and compass to digital navigation.
Included with every device on GPS Training:
- Your GPS set up and ready to use out of the box
- Step-by-step online training course access
- Telephone and email support from real experts
- Video tutorials and how-to guides
- Help choosing and loading the right maps
If you would rather have everything sorted for you — and know expert help is only a phone call away — GPS Training is the easier, more reassuring choice.
Still deciding?
Which is right for you?
It comes down to one question: do you want to pay the lowest price and get started yourself, or have the setup, training and support taken care of for you? Whichever you choose, you get the same genuine product, the same warranty and the same team behind you.
