Does anyone have a a Cycling GPS device that they are willing to sell Ideally I'd need it by the weekend if they do?

Let me know if anyone has anything simple to use with a good battery?

yes, i'd quite like to be able to remember a 100mile route, but my dyslexic brain doesn't let me, so seeing as there are devices out there to help me with this, I thought i'd try and find one.

I'd suggest getting a Garmin 200, my first gps and its amazing. You can pick them up for about £50-£60, saw a few on here not so long ago.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
