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.

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.

The things that happen after visiting the AdventureMoto store. Popped in for shopping and came out with a link to this great site and a tip-off for the Lithgow Nav Ride.

Bit of a late starter (45!) at this riding lark. So rocking a DRZ400 with an “L” plate on the back. First tracks offroad around the Watagans and Barrington/Chichester. Live in the Northern Beaches so always a trek to get anywhere muddy.

Loving bashing around trails (though not a fan of the steep ups or downs). And have already learnt you can empty river water out of your bike engine by puling an extreme mono.

Looking forward to learning lots more about trails and trail riding.

Can 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.
