Which GPS?

[mikegwyther]

Hi all.

 

I am seeking a good GPS unit that comes ready installed with UK OS maps (or do these have to be purchased separately?).

Is there such a thing?

 

If so could anyone recommend one?

 

I am looking to spend upto £200 for one (new or secondhand). It must also be able to save locations into it's memory and maybe track your route as you walk.

 

If anyone can recommend one that would be great.

 

Failing that, could anyone tell me if I can get UK OS maps for my Garmin Nuvi 1310?

 

Thanks.

There are several threads on the topic of upgrading to a new GPS. Take a look at these links. Should give you some ideas.

Re your question on the Nuvi I'm pretty certain the answer is no, it doesn't support the OS maps. These are only supported on the Garmin Oregon/Dakota/Colorado
