TomTom GPS?
-
If you are looking for a GPS for hiking, I wonder why you would consider a route navigation GPS like TOMTOM or the Garmin Nuvi. Look at the range of Garmin Etrex. You will find one with features you want for hiking such as backtracking your trail and keeping a record of your hike. TOMTOM doesn't remember where it was 2 seconds ago, let alone 2 days and I suspect the Nuvi is no different. Stuart
I completely agree. Tom2 is for in-car, so is Garmin Nuvo. Look for something more simple like Garmin eTrex (in which you can load maps) or Gecko etc (no mpas, just location/trails/waypoints). I've got three Garmin units for different uses and am very happy with them (some Garmins have games built-in, my kids love it). Alternative is a PDA/phone with GPS receiver (either built-in or seperate ($50) bluetooth thingy). Software is available commercialy and freeware with all level of sophistication, e.g. OziExplorer or GPSmap (both WM5/6). Final recommedation: go GEOCACHING. Is extremely fun for a kid to find a hidden treasure using the GPS (^])
