Help!!! Which GPS?

[EnduroAlexis]

Hi, am getting a GPS for Christmas, but have to choose one myself.

So which one to get?

1) It needs to be waterproof, weatherproof and rattleproof.
2) Screen needs to be readable while riding.
3) It needs to have internal and external power.
4) Add on memory option would be advantageous.

Thanks in advance for your advice. Oh, price should be between £300-£500.

Thanks

Thanks for the info and tipps.

I think it will be easiest if I go into a GPS store in London or Oxford and have a look at all models available. But your info will give me an idea what to look out for, so thanks.

Happy New Year to you all, and all the best for 2006.

Yer know, this forum needs a GOOD sticky at the top with a clear description of what the best options are, new GPS’ers just don’t know what to buy, and I don’t blame them, its got quite complex theses passed couple of years.
