Hi everyone,
Sorry if this information is already in another post but I've read through a lot of GPS discussions and I'm still confused.
I'm looking for a GPS that will give me directions while touring. I've worked out the route that I want to take on Google Maps, but I'm going to be cycling over 100 miles a day and don't want to have to keep stopping to check directions. I'm not too worried about having the speedometer, heart rate, cadence etc functions that some devices offer, it's really just the directions that I need. So far I've only looked at the Garmin Dakota and Garmin Edge models. Please could someone give me some advice on which is better suited to my needs, or is there a different model that would be better than both of those? I'm also confused about whether I'd need to buy (or possibly download open source for free?) maps for the GPS. Some advice about that would also be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Clive
