camp stove and GPS

We are thinking about buying a coleman, two burner duel fuel stove. Would this be the best option for a 4X4 trip through Africa?
We also need help deciding on a GPS? Any suggestions and advice?
Cheers
Arnold and Alicia

I’m not familiar with the Coleman stoves but I would go for anything that uses a basic propane tank. It’s almost guaranteed you’ll be able to fill those anywhere.

Give us more info about your trip and your navigation need so we can help you with the GPS thing. Post a message in the Navigation forum.

I've owned and used a Coleman - peak one single burner for year - I think the unit must be well into 20 years old by now...

Never had any problems despite burning Petrol from all sorts of places, and grades and the original Coleman fuel...

Eventually - the one way pump valve situated below the pump handle went.. It's a brass fitting and an absolute pig to get out BUT it is replaceable... the modern ones are even easier to replace with all the parts being quick release ones.... Even so -

I can still get the parts for my old one..
