I've been very tempted by gps and have done some research you can get a garmin etrex vista hcx for about £150, or the legend for £130, no altimeter, (very popular with cyclist by all my internet searching), "acquire" some maps and you are good to go. Seems like a better and more robust (waterproof bike mount, decent battery life e.t.c) solution.
Good point andy.
