GPS

[blacktiger]

I've recently loaded a database from CAMRA listing all the real beer pubs  :lol:

So, we will be able to find the pub a bit quicker this year then?    :D

I made sure the pub was right next door.  And yes, it's in the good beer guide.  
Still, we can use John's new gadget to navigate the 100 yards across the field.   :icon_scratch

I use a map. You know the paper one  :)

 A map gives so much instant info.

I tell you. You people that refuse to even consider a GPS are deluding yourself.

Having to cross central London with a fully loaded sprinter were time is money I wouldn't be without my GPS,god knows how folk survived before,but on a bike on holiday I don't think so,oddly enough it's the clangers that i've dropped over the years that we remember  :D ,it's part of the holiday.

The #1 reason I use a GPS (and a good enough map would do to)  is when I see some tiny little road that veers off of my planned drive, the GPS makes it easy to see whether that road will go somewhere or just end up deadending in a few miles.

A good enough map can do the same things, but it would have to be a very closeup map to handle the kind of roads I'm talking about.

I actually hate GPS auto routing, and never use it.  I will use it for holding a planned route.

I would also say that in the American southwest, a GPS is something of a "stay alive" necessity.
