I'm not demonising Stanfords, I love that shop, could spend hours there, and have done, do also spend money there when i can justify it.
maps... = weight. and possible waste of money -
I figured i'll use the Garmin this trip, If i love it, i'll keep it, if i don't i'll sell it -
Current ebay value of Garmin 605 is approx £150 - I bought mine for £203. - So in theory i'll lose £53 on buying the GPS - vs potential loss of £60 if i buy maps... - that's based on me not bothering to try and sell / throwing maps away...
sorry that was a rant. my reasoning and justification of buying a Garmin.
