delurking to respond to Arup's musings on GPS devices. I have a Garmin Edge 200, which you can download routes to that give you a 'breadcrumb trail' to follow when out on the road.
This works pretty well: more than adequate to get me around a recent 100k on unfamiliar roads. But it's of little use if you go too far off piste... and you can't change navigation on the fly.
Still, for £100, it does almost everything I need, and nothing I don't.
The only feature lacking is a constant clock: I like to know what time it is...
I've yet to venture further than 100km, Audax wise, but Arup's making me think that I should give a 200km one a go...
Seriously impressed by all the ride reports in this thread, btw!
