Its probably been covered a lot of times before, just want to have an updated choices for newer models.
I don't know much about MTB trail GPS as most if not all in youtube are about roadbike example or demo videos.
I am planning in the summer to ride the peak district as i have never been there. So what GPS is good ..for downloading routes from other riders and show me the trail map turn by turn.. A video link to a GPS how it looks like the map when riding in the trails is greatly appreciated. Cheers.
I love my [url= http://www.satmap.co.uk/about.php ]Satmap[/url] and would love to try the new Satmap 12.
There are a couple of vids on using route software for it [url= http://www.satmap.co.uk/video-tutorials.php ]here[/url] using Satmaps own route planning software but uploading & using normal .gpx files is really easy too.
It's not cheap but is very rugged and I prefer having the buttons rather than a touch screen as there is less to damage and it's really easy to use in crap weather with gloves on.
Having replacement screen covers is also very useful. Trust me, I speak from experience.
There's an interesting video review [url= http://www.trailtesters.co.uk/reviews/gps/satmap/active10plus/ ]here[/url] too. It's walking rather than mtbing And doesn't show the direction pointer you can also use to show you the direction but it gives you a good idea of the functionality.
I am hoping someone would mention the garmin800 as i am eyeing on it, but cannot see video the functionality how the map works and how to follow on MTB trail... Youtube shows all roadies.
That satnap looks interesting, cheers.
