i have been thinking for some time about getting a GPS for mapping trail locations. and to help find new routs and to share with close riding friends.
has any one done this?
I was looking as some and most of the newer ones have a least 2000 trackpoints. So if the GPS will auto trackpoint every 8 to 15 seconds I could get around 3 hours of data.
and most have topo maps you can get for your PC and GPS to map them out.
and I could manually put points of interest out on the trails.
Does any one know if this will work as good as I think it should!!!
