Hi Peter,
just my 2 cents regarding GPS ... I'm a fan of simple solutions in that
respect - I think that garmin gps are battle proof and I wouldn't take a
computer instead of garmin. Too much electronics on board is in my
opinion call for troubles ....
But on the other hand GPS is without any doubts useful but in many cases
less then you would expect - at least in my experiences. I can see
people getting to technical about navigation and then the trip can
easily turn into in a "computer game " observing the screens instead of
landmarks & landscape.
I'm using Garmin 276 and Garmin Map60 (as a backup) with very basic maps
(mostly WorldMAP + free topo's) - I do enter way points of pistes or
coordinates of interesting location using MapSource before departure and
that's it ... more or less
my advice would be to keep it as simple as possible ...
Regards,
Tomaz
