ShamelessTT Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 PDA style one? ive got the HP 6910/6915 its ok , but getting on a bit now, also has phone etc all in one. Bare in mind the GPS isnt fantastic on it tho, as its not a dedicate device, its an all rounder. http://www.devicewire.co.uk/HP-iPAQ-6910 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraAyf Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Jamie, a simple Garmen parallel system will do the job (circa 80 to 110 quid). They all run off the old parallel-12 technology; meaning they take their signal from the strongest 12-satellites in the receptive field. If you pay the 110 figure (and more) then you will get more functions with the system i.e. route navigation where you can programme a vast number of co-ords instead of only a few. They will also do emergency route planning and multi-route memory storage. Easy to use too;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The system that you mentioned is a multi-design system which means that you can use it on land or water i.e. sailing navigation etc. This will keep you on track with this spec: 10,000-point automatic track log; 20 saved tracks (500 points each) let you retrace your path in both directions Don't forget though; if you buy a real cheap one then it won't come with a mapping capability so you will have to use it to orientate yourself using a paper map Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylestt Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I want to buy, stop me from getting lost on my dirtbike in deepest wales. I gotta be honest Jamie, the way we ride dirtbikes and stuff here, i can't hold on to anything but the handle bars. If you can read a GPS and ride you got something mate!! haha j/k, I dont have any experience on GPS though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Beast Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 http://www.sofmilitary.co.uk/military/index.asp there under field craft, then navigation, then GPS Try these mate, i know a few lads that have brought from here, i use a magellen one, and never had any probs but its about 7 years old now, there are loads of new styles on the market. this company supply to the forces a lot, and like i said lads use them all over the world and there fine, so wales will be ok, even the Brecons!! richie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
