Someone has offered me a very basic GPS unit, an old entry-level Garmin Etrex.
But really, what's the use of a bunch of coordinate numbers if there are no maps or whatever to go with it?
Geocaching I guess...
What else?

Determined to kill my bike before it kills me
Got one of these. USeful if you go hunting and stuff, but they don't work well under trees or in a car as it can't lock onto a signal.
IMO, no good on a bike, except maybe trailridign in case you get lost.

Build your own dyno - PM me for the link of if you want to use it (bring beer)
I used one for flying as a backup to see where I had been and was good to use to retrace your steps in bad weather. Since then I have upgraded to a moving map one and you cant beat them. Now I know where I heading as well as where I have been. Definately recommend one with a map. I think you would get a reasonable basic one for $400-600 for land/road use.
Best of luck -although hard to beat a free one.
My Navman shows a difference of about 10km/hr when doing approx 80+ Km/hr. Wondered how accurate they are as regards to speed. Location on the ground can be as good as 5M. But maybe only when you get all the Sats.???
I have a moving map type that talks to you which is really usefull when hooked up to the intercom and I am trying to find my way. Decent mount system with power and plastic bag seems to work ok![]()
