I remember last year I was testing a friends bike round the old street roundabout whilst wearing a very bright somewhat questionable sweatshirt when some fake tanned, tapout muscle shirt wearing twat in BMW M3 convertible went out of his way to slow down, and call me a shortditch wanker hipster, Oh how i wish i had a large mcdonalds vanilla milkshake at that moment, it would have looked like dumbo had tried to make love to his car.

Mate used his iphone on a previous trip to France to use Google maps a few times to bail us out of being lost in the middle of nowhere, he returned to a £70 data bill. So my next trip across France I took my android and used the MapDroyd app with pre loaded maps and was able to locate my position just using the GPS on the phone, i'd use a simple £20 solar charger from Maplin strapped to the top of my Carradice during the day to keep it topped up for when I needed it. I used a good old fashioned map for 95% of navigation but gps came in handy to figure out where you are in really rural areas and for milking Mcdonalds wifi to send emails etc :-)
Oh yeah, they are clincher :-)
