Do you use a GPS on holidays by bike

[unfazed]

It's daft Pat. If you're riding roads you're unfamiliar with, you'll presumably keep the speed down a bit anyway, and use the "slow in, fast out" philosophy. And if you're pushing on, I don't know about others, but my eyes will be looking for all the clues that are imminent. And most of the canyon/mountain roads I've ridden would mean glancing down at the screen almost constantly, as the bends come up one after another - that's why we like to ride them, isn't it?


I turn most of the features off, otherwise I get warning beeps and boops every few seconds. Animal crossing?! Do I really need that? What about in Wales, where every bit of road is regarded by sheep as fair game?  :lol

Same here Nick, so many clues available and using the "vanishing point" in this situation is also a vital part of your arsenal of knowledge.

Robbo I would seriously attempt to dissuade you from that practice simply because Sat Navs maps are not always right up to date, whereas your wits are always up to date with the latest information. Sat Navs/Gps are aids/guides in navigation nothing else, hone your road riding skills, no distractions live longer. Just like in Mountaineering they tell you almost exactly where you are and a possible route to your destination.
