Cycle computer with GPS?

[Greg Albery]

I'm going touring in Europe this Summer and would like to have a cycle computer with GPS in order to make it less likely that i'll get lost.

Does anyone have any recommendations? Including being able to upload all data (maps, etc) before i leave as i won't have a computer or internet while i'm out there so all maps will have to be preloaded.

One option that seems viable is a Garmin Dakota 10 with BirdsEye Satellite imagery to provide the maps, but i may well be wrong about this. Sorry i'm quite new to this so forgive me if i'm mistaken about anything Would it just be far easier/cheaper to just buy maps out there?

Thanks in advance.

Having easily replaceable batteries is a big plus when travelling! Since you want to preload your routes, make sure that the memory capacity of the device is up to the job.
