Hi,
Please could anyone recommend a gps unit for green laning? I'm new to this lark but would really like to get a unit a could preset routes on.......would be nice to be able to review a physical route that ive done aswell but i think this may be more in the world of data loggers ..?
Am also after a decent set of comms units for me and possible another two guys to use and speak to each other,

any advise much appreciated

Any cheap crappy PDA with built in GPS (think £30 on ebay) can run memory map (OS map software)

you can do it on the cheap if you need to, that's what I did.

Hi & Welcoem.

There was a big thread about this not long ago...


viewtopic.php?f=35&t=638

i use a garmin hcx legend easy to use not too many functions , got to be simple for me you can pre load route and follow it like sat nav or put waypoints in . i still use maps though

I was involved in said thread, ended up going for the Road Angel 7000. Got it off ebay for 80 quid.... but it didn't turn up so I got another one for 50 quid... then the first one turned up so I ended up with 2, but thats another story. Seems easy enough to use-ish, I just can't work out how to send a route to it and follow it...

I plot the route on the unit it's self for the same reason

touch the screen on the route at any point, that opens a window
press follow route
delete the coordinates box an follow the arrow

Thanks all, much appreciated. Think I need to go and have a play with some gear

Assuming you have ActiveSynch loaded then:

Remember that to copy routes from the PC to the RA the MM client must be open on the RA.
The opposite is true for uploading your tracklog when MM shouldn't be open.
If you are offered a more up to date version for the RA when uploading you have gone wrong somewhere. Shut the proggies down and start again!
