To expand..I use a Garmin with Mapsource and have Memorymap.
What I really really want is OS or similar maps loaded onto the Garmin so
that my exact location at any time when out and about can be shown. I
realise this is not possible.
Anyone know of any addition kit that would provide this for reasonable
outlay?
Been looking at some GPS's but when adding cost of maps for the particular
hardware works out v expensive. So I see a GPS called Road Angel Adventurer
7000 looks like would provide what I want...I could use my existing
Memorymap software (I think) and a little circle would show exact
location....but again damned expensive.
Any advice appreciated.
I have a cheap Garmin. No maps. But it gives the grid ref and distance walked, horizontal and vertical current and average speeds.
Why do you say "this is not possible"? Maybe you mean accuracy?
I paid £55 on eBay and it's the one which has altitude measurement too.
I'm very happy with it because I use regular maps and just occasionally the gps for position.
