Looking for a recommendation on a GPS unit. I like using strava but I cannot use it to map and find my way back to secret trails I may have found. I I would like a dedicated GPS rather than a phone app as the GPS on the phone does not always work perfectly, it also crashes and splits the ride in two.
I would be interested in trying an android app, but would really love a gps unit that just works and doesn't crash and helps me re-find trails that are not on maps.
Any recommendations?
if you want to try an android app, try ViewRanger
you can use it for free with open source maps or pay for OS maps.
£10 will get you a huge area of 1:50,000 OS maps
1:25,000 is much more expensive.
It will also record your ride as a gpx, which can be uploaded to Strava later if strava crashes or chops in two.
It's also great for planning routes on a computer, then uploading to phone. It's a top App.
cheers , I will check that out never heard of it before.
