Do you use a GPS on holidays by bike
#10
I have used the GPS on my phone if I cannot find some place in a big city easily, but have only used it about 4 time in the last 10 years. The GPS in the phone is a backup if I am really stuck, but have only used it once on my holidays, because of roads works and accident blocked a number of the obvious alternative routes, but then I try not to frequent to many big cities when I am on holidays.
First time in I was in Spain I was riding a Spanish register FJR1300 back to Ireland and only had a map, I pulled into a petrol station and was looking at the map when two police men approached me and asked if I needed directions.
One of them on a R1150GS said to follow him and he would show me the way, I had one of the fastest 10 mile trips ever in Spain staying with him. Big Grin That would never have happened if I had a GPS with me. :lol
I am not saying not to use a GPS, but I love maps and stopping to ask directions, especially if they do not speak English  :lol :lol
