A portion of the family have decided that what I really need for Christmas is a GPS, which I suppose I agree with, now that I think about it. Trouble is, I have no idea which ones I should be looking at.
The main reason I would like a GPS is for use with my mountain bike, displaying OS style maps, following trails I’ve set, and helping me not get lost. Likewise, I suppose I’d probably also use it on the road bike, on the rare occasions…..and now that I think about it, it would probably get used for a bit of hiking too, so not completely replacing a map, but certainly being used along side (so map can stay in bag)
So what sort of thing should I be looking at? The Garmin bike range seem like a good place to start, but would it also be worth looking at their hiking range? I’d quite like to plan routes on some sort of software before heading out, is this something that’s included/can be easily aquired? Also, if using on the road, a turn by turn feature might be useful?
Essentially I don’t actually know what’s out there, beyond Garmin, or really know what features I’d use…so advice please? Thanks in advance!
