Are they ok as navigation aids? I want to plop new routes on there to follow. Do you generally end up buying the 1:25000 maps or is the ‘Discoverer’ bundle adequate?
I bought the discoverer bundle, and separatley bought the city navigator map as I use my 800 both on & off road. If you load a route on it & follow it i reckon the discover maps are fine. I really cant imagine using it to navigate without a route though, the screen is too small, & it would also mean making multiple stops(like you’d do with a paper map)which to me defeats the object of a sat nav.
Its great to just load up a route & turn when it tells you to, leaving you to concentrate on riding & enjoying yourself.
Of course, there is always the risk of it not working for whatever reason, so its probably best to have a back up plan if you’re planning to ride in the middle of nowhere – maybe carry a map on some rides ?
I honestly dont think youll regret buying one, they’re great !!
