Just fiddle with your current phone.

You are right I was originally thinking about dedicated gps, but on further reflection I think I would like something a little bigger. I like the ability to a look at something like a real atlas without constantly scrolling. This is useful when planning a trip whilst on the road, as I often change my mind - even with regards to different countries! Having a large screen makes things so much easier.
Plus I don't see battery life as a big worry. If I am cycling a particular stretch, I can fire it up every so often to make sure I am on course. I don't think it will have to be on all the time. I am also looking into solar chargers, which should also mitigate some of the power worries.
