Can anyone reccomend a decent GPS? I want to be able to ride my favorite area all day, go home and download the trails I just rode to my computer for some personal butt kickin maps.
Reccomendations? Suggestions? Anicdotes?
I just bought a Garmin Etrex Vista for about $200 (on sale). Haven't taken it riding yet, but it works great for hiking and in the Jeep. Garmin also has other Etrex units with less memory for a lot less $$$. The topo map software is about $100. It's a bit outdated (I think a new update is due to be out soon), but works well enough.
Recommendations:
(1) Find a store that carries the units and play with them to see which user interface you like best.
(2) Most units are much cheaper online -- run a google search.
(3) Buy as much internal memory as you can afford! This seems to be the biggest limitation besides battery life.
Great unit. If you plan on mounting your GPS on the bars, vibration can be an issue. The batteries tend to separate (lose contact) and you'll lose signal.
I have a KTM with the happy button so I have mine wired direct.
