Re: How's your BB200 prep' going?

So i went a lightly different route.

managed to get a pristine dakota 20 with full UK 1:50 maps.

i best get some practice using the thing.

Thanks for the suggestion s8tannorm, the dakota looks like a much nicer unit to use and the mapping will always come in useful. :grin:

Re: How's your BB200 prep' going?

Would a etrex 10(£50 used) do the job? or, do i need to pay the extra for a 20(£90 Used)? or, is there a different range i should be looking at? Any info about this or anything else you guy's think i should know, would be vagu...
