Realise most of this is for in vehicle devices but was hoping the usually excellent PH pool of direct experience and knowledge can help.

Looking for a hand held device for use on walks / day treks and so on.

Have tried using phone app and have run into problems with data signal. Maybe using the wrong app / map.

Anyway would prefer one that can use OS mapping, especially in explorer scale. 1:25,000

Would like one where can prepare a route and upload. Most of the ones in places looked already are Garmin and that means use of BaseCamp and I bloody hate Base Camp. But if that's what I have to use then will just have to suck it up.

Budget? Good question. Nothing definite but guess over 500 might raise an eyebrow.

Ok folks over to you.
