Whilst being a firm user of map and compass I realise that a GPS could offe=
r me more. But my life may be too short to understand all options available=
and prices that range over a factor about 5 as far as I can tell.
Does anyone have good experiences for hiking GPS's for use in Europe ? I wa=
nt to be able to get maps of at least 1:25,000 scale, or 1:10,000, if they =
can then be zoomed in on then so much the better, for several countries, mo=
stly but not exclusively in Europe, I want to mark and remember places I ma=
y want to re-visit or where I just made a recording, light weight, good bat=
tery, usedin mountaisn and under forest canopy. I do NOT want a camera, rad=
io, blood pressure monitor or coffee maker built in (actually coffee would =
be good...), I just want the basics for good navigation and remebering wher=
e I've been, that's all.
Any advice gratefully received. Thanks in advance.
