Bike Satnav

[AJAX50]

Any suggestions as to which is the best satnav for using on a road bike, for both commuing in London and 100 milers out of town.

Either a normal car satnav or something like a Garmin Egde. The Edge 605 and 705 have fairly decent mapping and directions and you can programme them with routes. I have a 605 with UK mapping and I think it's great.

I use a Edge 305, but this is more for data logging, you'll need a 605 + to have a useful map on it to navigate though. great tools though!

205 for me, think the only difference to the 305 is it has a heart rate monitor and barometric altimeter as opposed to GPS one.

As others have said, fine if you can plot your route on a PC beforehand, but no live mapping or option to change where you are going. That said a mate has a live mapping one and there is too much info - on a 205/305 you are following a simple black line, hard to go wrong, with his he kept getting confused and we kept turning around at every junction as it was too hard to read at speed. Might just be him being a numpty but worth bearing in mind.
