I usually tour with maps, but on the latest trip found that alot of bikes were using Gps. As a complete Gps virgin I would appreciate it if some of the GSclubs Guru's could pass on a bit of their wisdom.
Do the units give directions too late?
Do you have to spend £700 -1200 to get a system more convenient than maps?
If for example I wanted to do a 4000m tour of Europe could it be downloaded in enough detail to show Minor roads/trails, if not do you carry some of the route on mem. cards?
30 waypoints per route doesn't seem alot how is this overcome?
If once you are halfway through your planned route you want to go on other roads can you accomadate this? And finally can you scan the areas on your Gps map (on route) to find the winding scenic roads(that we all love) like you can on a map?
Sorry this is long winded but any help is appreciated.
