I want to buy a GPS system to save having to get the map out every 5 minutes on big days out. But I'm a bit confused.
The quality and usefulness of maps seems to vary quite a bit, and some GPS systems seem to only support certain map formats.
On a budget of £100 which GPS / software combo can you recommend? All I need is to load pre-defined rides into the GPS, nothing too fancy.
Thanks.
On that budget i would reckon Garmin Etrex H and Tracklogs
Garmin eTrex H + Where's the path ( http://wtp2.appspot.com/wheresthepath.htm)
Excellent thanks for that Geoff.
Viewranger software for your phone?

Been using it for biking, hiking etc & so have a few mates - very impressed.
However, this only works if you already have a Nokia Symbian or similar mobile e.g. Nokia 5800, but it does work brilliantly and you dont have to buy any more GPS hardware. It uses Ordnance Survey maps. Costs from £25 for all National Parks including the software!
