gps units

I think Edinburgh Bicycle Co-op have something called the: Naviion Pro.

It looked very good, interacts with your PC, creates maps etc.

£300 it costs - go take a peek.

Thanks,

Anyone have any opinions on these. I dropped by the local Radio [censored] store and was tempted to
get one of these hand held gps units. They didn't have any models meant to be mounted on a
bike though.

The Naviion is actually available for £234.55, free shipping etc from the US web site,
naviion.comusOpen ↗ . This is designed specifically for a bike so it should suit your
requirements. I think it has all the other standard cycle computer functions too.

Ta,

OK - the Naviion does not have GPS. It uses P2P memory.

Daft thing.

The Garmin eTrex series have special bike mounts available as accessories, an exchangeable back with
the usual kind of sprung plastic prong which fits into a handlebar clip.

The same is probably true of many of the other smaller and lighter units designed for hand-held
(rather than vehicle) use.

You can also get general purpose bike mounts which fit any GPS by clamping round it.

Cyclists tend to be specially concerned with accurate altitude logs. Some GPS units come with
barometric altimeters built in, which can provide a more accurate altitude log than GPS, and also
provide an altitude log in conditions when the GPS isn't working, such as sometimes happens in urban
canyons or under dense tree cover.

Thanx. Garmin seems to be the unit to get. I'll have to think about it for my frivolous purchase
of the year.

Barry,

Universaly (at least in audio and electronics) it's called Rat Shack. If you call it Radio [censored]
it'll be confused with what's programed on 7 out of 8 commercial radio stations and 4 out 8 public
and college stations.

Oh for the day when they actually were sort of a electronics shop instead of a shill for cellular
service and satelite cable service. Now you're lucky if even the manager knows which end of the
soldering iron to hold.

Hi Barry,

I have a Garmin "eMap" and they have a handle bar attachment available...Works great!

Cordially,

Arous
