uCycle GPS for MTB

[Engineer1]

Do any of you guys know any good gps systems for planning and tracking rides recently the guys I've been riding with have been doing more cross country riding and I'd like a Gps ideally with maps that can track the rides to allow me to find and repeat certain sections but also have a clue where I am in relation to the fire roads main roads etc. I've also seen some of the bike mags have gpx files available for rides, I'm not keen on using my smart phone as a Nav device as I've smashed 2 iphone screens mountainbiking my phone will find the only sharp or solid item in the whole area. Budget wise I'm looking at the bottom end of the market as much over £200 and I'll get a how much response.

Keep you eye open on amazon for a garmin 800, I got mine for £205 off there with heart monitor and cadence sensor

I use an Etrex 30, but a 20 would do if you don't need HR & cadence. Load it up with Open Fiets Map, and you'll have a great offroad map.

Takes AAs rather than having an internal battery, which makes it great for longer adventures. Does 25hrs off a pair of AAs which is pretty decent too.
