Thanks for your words, SO GPS... I was hoping (and bank was hoping) you'd all say HTFU and use a map and compass. We're up for a pretty fast ride back - averaging about 90 miles a day for 10 days... so getting lost would be annoying.
I have got an iPhone with GPS - but the roaming charges would be shite.
If i was going GPS - i guess it would be Garmin 605 or 705...
one clincher would be the power source... we're not going to be able to charge this thing up... The garmin site, and a quick google doesn't tell me what power it takes... can i use AA or other readily available batteries?
I'm thinking Goole printouts @ A3/2 and a check when needed on the iPhone may be a good solution.. Somehow i want to be properly persuaded i need a Garmin though.. Anyone a Garmin rep here? Anyone know where to get it cheapest? Clefty says Handtec.co.uk in another thread, but the price gone up up up...
Scott, like you, navigating has never been my strong point...
