MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Can anyone recommend something cheapish. I want only the ablity to track a route and download it, and the ability to upload to it a route I drew on http://www.bikehike.co.uk and for it to tell me where to go with a little arrow or something, don't need map features heart rate. As you can probably tell I have do virtually no research into these things.
Anyone got any advice?
Garmin Geko or a basic Etrex.
Got a geko with a copy of memory map I found somewhere. I carry a back up map every time but can't see why I would need a higher end GPS.
I do like the GPS though, really keeps you moving on new routes, as opposed to constant stop / start with maps. I have got lost with it but if you have your map you can call a grid ref.
Garmin Geko looks ideal, cheers fellas!
Make sure you get a 201 or a 301, NOT a 101
Had mine ages so didn't realise the 101 was still availale. - DON'T get it.
Mines a 201, and only when I am planning long routes have I ran out of way points. Easy to change before sending to gps though.
Connects to pc fine but can be a real pain to set the com port.
So more balanced opinion and possibly a little out of date.
For the price though I still don't need owt else
