April 18, 2013 at 11:42 pm #239627Can I book a tentative spot?
As a complete rookie, keen to find out a bit more before disappearing into the bush.
For starters, any recommendations/links on which GPS to use? Guessing Google Maps on the iPhone is not going to cut it.

Hi Steve and welcome to the site. Sadly mate no the IPhone wont cut it.
As far a GPS goes what sort of riding do you do? Where do you ride? And what do you ride? It all comes into making a decision around the purchase of a GPS.
Happy to help and advise, have done a lot of this stuff and it would be good for other lurkers watching to see and read and may encourage them as well

Currently on a DRZ400e. Will be there for at least 12 months before I get off my Ps and go shopping. Not really a preference for trails as still too new at this lark. Enjoyed bashing around the Barrington and Watagans but in both cases staying on/near the recognised trails. Aspirations of heading further, inland, once I get a bike with more than 200km range.
Have a Garmin eTrex in a cupboard somewhere, but thinking something with a larger/moving map would be better. Else I’ll sit up the night before drawing diagrams on a roll of paper, Dakar style.

With the DR having a battery you could run a Garmin Montana or a Garmin 660 both have big screens. Those two can be used car GPS style to navigate to a address as well.
If you like hand held GPS I can recommend the Garmin 62s. I have noticed that Ryda car radio have pretty good deals on them all at the momentI can help you with software, mounts and stuff would have to be sorted
Hope that helps

In regard to the GPS,if your eyes are anything like mine,get the biggest screen you can.I cant read mine very well when riding making it basically useless

April 19, 2013 at 10:07 am #240008Sounds great guys. Count me in.
And will check out those GPS options soonest so I can start on the wiring.
And good tip on screen size James. Not the most steady if looking down all the time.

Isambard,
I have a Garmin Nuvi 500. A bit cheaper than some others but seems to work quite well, especially after TB has weaved his magic upon it.
I have to wear glasses to see it though, but then I am old and have hair growing out of my ears.
