+walkergeoff and wife Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I am looking into the possibility of getting a GPSr with mapping capability. Initial investigations suggest that not all of them can handle OS maps. Can anyone either tell me which can, or point me to a resource with this information? Many thanks in advance.

Thanks - I had seen that (and the post was what prompted my question, which I should have put in that thread I suppose), but I was hoping there might be a cheaper option! Quote Link to comment

+Happy Humphrey Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 There is currently a way of displaying OS Maps on Garmin mapping GPSr's using Moagu: I had a go but found the instructions a bit difficult to follow. If any has succeeded in doing this, please let me know! Quote Link to comment
Alan White Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I am looking into the possibility of getting a GPSr with mapping capability. Initial investigations suggest that not all of them can handle OS maps.Have you considered a PDA with integrated (or Bluetooth) GPS? Then there'd be no problem running Memory Map/Fugawi/whatever, and you're not tied in to the features supplied by the GPS manufacturer. Quote Link to comment

Only problem - they don't survive drops as much as my trusted 12 does! Quote Link to comment
+sssss Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Yes - that is a possibility. Only problem - they don't survive drops as much as my trusted 12 does! put it in an otterbox, mine has suffered many drops, falls, dunkings and still lives to tell the tail Quote Link to comment
+walkergeoff and wife Posted October 6, 2008 Author Share Posted October 6, 2008 Well it is a long-term project. While my trusty 12 is still functioning, I can't justify the expense. You can get an awful lot of paper maps for the cost of a new GPSr or PDA! Quote Link to comment
