And note that for long distance touring, the Garmin units are not a substitute for paper maps. In fact, to make full use of my navigation settings and the dynamic routing described in my article, you will need a decent paper map (like the well-known Michelin 1:200000 maps). The Garmin excels in high road density areas where even the best maps at a reasonable scale won't give you every tiny country road that would be desirable riding. Furthermore, the Garmin is a good confirmation of your navigation at tricky intersections (there were 2 cases where if I'd paid more attention to my Garmin I wouldn't have gotten lost). -- Piaw Na http://piaw.blogspot.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Bicycle Lifestyle" group.
