May not be of any use if everything goes tits up, but it's a fantastic bit of kit right now;
If you have Excel, you can use this tool to pull out GPS co-ords from a google/bing/etc map and drop them pretty easily into a GPS. Alternatively you can get a route from your GPS and display them nicely on here, as well as some additional functionality.
It will require SOME technical ability, but it's easy enough to figure out.
Neat bit of kit.

I have yet to mix modern electronics with land nav.. still and old compass and map. I bought a GPS this past October and it was busted right from the box. I was cured of any curiosity i had..
In no way am I knocking our post..

In no way am I knocking our post.. Ivarr No worries mate. I use it for getting grids and navigating to things that aren't marked on maps: Interesting ruins spotted on imagery, that sort of thing. I love GPS, it's a beautiful backup, and a wonderful tool; Wrist mounted gps as a radio op is glorious when doing military things. little less useful if it needs batteries for extended periods of time if you've batteries to carry. Very much 1st world safety gear! |

Mate I walk round the countryside in my county and we have Roman ruins, Viking ruins, Castles, WW2 bunkers that are still standing that were built INLAND in case the germans ever actually succeeded in landing troops. Lots of stuff that is well sited but scarcely know.
