Too many other features to list but take a look at https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/802901#overview, if you’re interested. Of course, a ton of the features will likely be non-functional at wake up.

For MP, I’d probably want to add a dosimeter.

One task of MP teams could be to set up differential GPS ground stations that could help MP teams with navigation. While GPS satellites would be non-existent dGPS could at least allow for some GNSS functionality.

My understanding of dGPS is that it requires a signal from at least one GPS satellite. Granted, my understanding is somewhat limited so I could be wrong.

dGPS requires at least one GPS satellite and at least one other well-known transmitter. The latter could be another satellite or a ground station that has been precisely surveyed. For best results you want at least 3 references.
