Joined: 07 Nov 2007 Posts: 1 Bike: | Hi, my boyfriend wants a GPS for his bike for christmas but I have no idea about these things and wondered if anyone could help! He says he wants one with a map to say where he is going and where he has been. I've been looking at the Garmin etrex but it doesn't seem to have this facility. Does anyone know of a similar priced gps that does this? Many thanks, Laura |
