sat-nav dilemma

Though he got a couple of the technical specs wrong: the device is not suitable for use in all lighting conditions, and they are not compatible with British Weather versions 1.0 to 10.9.

Can be accesorised with a front light and polyethelene

That's the trouble with all this new-fangled technology - there's always one more upgrade needed

Touring I have only used maps, because of the gps/battery conundrum (sp?) and usually sort of know the route off by heart, or just go from town/village to next town/village by signs/compass.

I am going to give Audax a shot in a few weeks, so would like to use a gps to assist in swift progress on the navigation front; I am slow enough as it is, and I don't need navigation errors slowing me any further.

Both maps and gps have their merits IMO, and neither should be poo-pooed or heralded over the other.

Cut pages out the Michelin for me. I put them in the clear plastic pouch thats velcro'd to top of my bar bag. You can also see what the roads/terrain look like around you easily - good for that minor detour.
