Bike SatNav for Holland Holiday

[Fred A-M]

Cheers Steve, I run Supernova E3 on front and rear - good to know that I'd be able to set this up without having to unplug lights. 

Tried the Iphone/GPS Motion X today - it did a reasonable job of tracking my route to and from work and providing a host of related stats.  The distance certainly tallies with my Cateye and assume therefore that ascend, descent and graph displaying speeds at various stages of the route also are.   It occassionally suggested that I had cut corners by cycling through solid buildings, but seemed but a minor abberation and I have nothing to compare it to!  Will disable internet dowloads next time to confirm that it does work in this mode.

I have been a happy user of a GPS-equipped Nokia (any Nokia with a Symbian these days) for years with three programs, neither needing an active GPRS/3G connection, all free I hasten to add. Nokia E52 is small and is said to have a very good battery (will certainly last a day of cycling with the below programs running). I use an old E71.

1. Sports Tracker, possibly linked to heartbelt via bluetooth - tracking, maps, altitude charts and such. An example here: http://www.sports-tracker.com/#/workout/Mateusz/7a14p8mk6oqdj3e0
2. Ovi Maps for navigation (you can download maps at home for use offline in the field)
3. Trekbuddy - for OS maps (if you can find them)
All three can run simultaneously, so switching between them is not a problem.

It is also worth synchronising clocks on your mobile and camera for geotagging pictures later on, unless you use an N9 with a very decent camera on its own.
