    GPS for walking...

    I need some advice - I want to buy a GPS not on a mobile but a proper one for walking. I want to use the OS maps, a bit rugged and waterproof. Needs to have a good screen.


    Any ideas?

      I would be interested in answers for this too. Got lost for nearly three hours this summer, maps and compass not much good unless you know where you are currently.

      PS Pref nice big screen so I don't have to take my reading glasses.

          ...unless you know how to use a map and compass.

            You get what you pay for. What about this, The UK on OS maps

                  How about your own personal sattelite that tracks your every move, beaming the pictures down directly to your handheld. A snip at £100million
