Cheers Paul. The sat nav has been a godsend, has taken a lot of stress out of the trip. I've still used it in conjunction with maps and Google maps. I use Google to select waypoints to program a trip, but keep the maps handy to see more clearly where everything is in a region, and to see if there are any little detours I might like to take. I've had a few moments where i've cursed the tech., but it's most likely down to operator error :rolleyes
Example: did a ride this evening down to the coast. Relied entirely on the sat nav. to do a loop. At one point, it decided to recalculate the route, and left me going round and round a roundabout until it had it sorted. But without it, I wouldn't have been confident in just doing a little local ride on a whim like that. There's probably ways to do things simpler than I manage, if you're familiar with them, but it was worth the layout for this tour alone I'd say :thumbup
