Do you use a GPS on holidays by bike
#1
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]
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]
Getting lost and having to stop and ask direction from a couple in a car and discover they are totally naked :[Image: bag.gif]
Nearly missing the ferry because you took a wrong turn[Image: 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]
Going through Belgium for the first time and discovering they have the worst road signage in Europe.[Image: 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]
Discovering the sign for Paris in Belgium is also the road to Masstricht which is in the opposite direction. [Image: 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]

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][Image: biggrin_old.gif][Image: biggrin_old.gif]
