Which sat nav for european touring and TET (on and off road)?
Thanks Warin, that's really helpful and I will go and have a look at some Garmin maps aa you suggest. In principle I am happy with OSM.
The question list is also really helpful and here's my thoughts:
What do you need in a GPS unit?
Waterproof.
Readable in the sun.
Battery charging. (Assume this means i can charge the battery on the bike)
YES, DEFINITELY FOR ALL
What do you want in a GPS?
ability to have a map? YES
colour display of map? PREFER
ability to record your track (you past path) so you can back track? NO
ability to follow a pre-set route? YES
ability to recalculate a route if you go off course? YES
ability to warn of speed/red light cameras? NOT NEEDED BUT OK
a flash memory card storage so you can swap maps without a pc? NOT SURE - YES IF NEED TO CHANGE MAPS
Portable - so you can use it while walking? NO
What else?
Don't need voice/blue tooth
On bike charging mount that's rugged and works (and option to buy two to cover both bikes)
Ease of use, especially on the IT
If you had a shortlist of 2 or 3 what would be on it?
Cheers
Andy
