Out of curiosity, any one out there like me, who never uses a GPS when going on Holidays by bike.
Definitely think the GPS takes all the fun out of going on holidays by bike, :eek
Taking the wrong route and finding out it is far better than the one a GPS would have taken you.![[Image: original.gif]](http://www.biker.ie/forum/images/smilies/original.gif)
Getting lost and having to stop and ask direction only to have the fellow you are trying to speak to is stone deaf![[Image: lbhbh.gif]](http://www.biker.ie/forum/images/smilies/lbhbh.gif)
Getting lost and having to stop and ask direction from a couple in a car and discover they are totally naked :![[Image: bag.gif]](http://www.biker.ie/forum/images/smilies/bag.gif)
Nearly missing the ferry because you took a wrong turn![[Image: mad1.gif]](http://www.biker.ie/forum/images/smilies/mad1.gif)
The fun in the high speed ride to get back on the right route and making the ferry by 5 minutes.![[Image: biggrin_old.gif]](http://www.biker.ie/forum/images/smilies/biggrin_old.gif)
Going through Belgium for the first time and discovering they have the worst road signage in Europe.![[Image: unsure2.gif]](http://www.biker.ie/forum/images/smilies/unsure2.gif)
Trying to find your way out of Mons in Belgium when both routes to the motorway are completely blocked by overturned trucks.![[Image: rolleyes2.gif]](http://www.biker.ie/forum/images/smilies/rolleyes2.gif)
Discovering the sign for Paris in Belgium is also the road to Masstricht which is in the opposite direction.![[Image: unsure2.gif]](http://www.biker.ie/forum/images/smilies/unsure2.gif)
Watching a fellow with a GPS getting into a total panic in Southern Spain because the GPS battery went flat![[Image: lbhbh.gif]](http://www.biker.ie/forum/images/smilies/lbhbh.gif)
I think I will stick with the ould general area map, my €50 phone and my €80 Tablet with maps downloaded to it; way more fun and a lot cheaper than the GPS.![[Image: biggrin_old.gif]](http://www.biker.ie/forum/images/smilies/biggrin_old.gif)
