Me being the idiot. If I had the funds I would walk straight in and buy the full kit but I don't. I need hrm & sensor with it so was wondering whats the cheapest way to buy?
I want the turn by turn type navigation style like Tom Tom but my technical knowledge is low with regards to downloading maps from sites to put on a memory card etc.
Is it worth doing it all separate?
Would I save much?
Or if I buy a bundle which one do I go for ?
I realise this is a already discussed topic but thought new buyers could respond. Heads battered! That's before I work out how to use it with the hrm etc

THe bundles are usually the best value - Note that the Garmin road maps are available for the whole of Europe for under 50 squids (can't remember exactly how much) but the OS maps are available separately for 150! If you re going to ride off road or want the use of OS maps then it's really worth getting them in a bundleWe're in danger of confusing passion with incompetence
