Which GPS

spannerchucker1

I'm looking to buy a GPS that I can use for trails in Spain as I'm finding it very difficult to find any maps. Can anyone suggest a system that would be suitable? Thanks, Andy.

Satmap - you can get a 1:25k map card for Spain for about £50

Garmin Dakota, Garmin Oregon, MemoryMap....loads of great systems out there.

For maps try openstreetmap.com. Free maps galore!

I asked this same question a while back and was also advised to download (free) the app for an iphone called motion-x.

I'm edging towards a Garmin setup and just had a look at the Openmtbmap site. It looks like it'd be really handy once you figure out how to use it and if it's compatible with a Mac etc, etc. Are these sites really as difficult to use as they look?

Just download the gmapsupp.img file from the link below and copy it to a folder called GARMIN on a micro SD card and put it in your garmin.

what phone do you have?

I've got a Blackberry Bold, not sure about using that though cos I'm on a UK contract and the roaming data charges are scary.
