Re: [St] New GPS

["Peter Kroeker" <peter.kroeker@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've also been considering a GPS but I've been reluctant so far since I am not directionally challenged so I'm not sure how much benefit I'd get.  I only do one or two big tours a year where I might even think of getting lost.

I do have a question for experienced GPSers.  Can you select a route then download it?  When I plan a tour, I do all sorts of research into what route I want to take then follow the map there.  I suppose I could enter a bunch of waypoints along the route to force the unit to use the roads I want but that seems a little silly.

   I was seriously considering one of these. I organise rides about once a monthly and figured a navigation system would be a good help rather than relying on my memory. I have narrowed it down to a few units.

  Trouble is the cost of the 550 with a bunch of bits is $1200 + !


   
  Enought to make balk before I rush out buy one.

  i love mine.?i use the wiRevo with it and the Benchmark camos. it is awesome to 
  control your phone / mp3 / nav all in one device. only complaint is the mono for 
  the phone mic. very hard to hear people above 50 (depending on wind).

  I've been considering one of these for a while now George, will look forward to 
  your comments after you've used it a bit more...

  We were playing with one at a rally not long ago, and couldn't for the life of 
  anyone find a way to reverse a route.? Is it in there somewhere?
