    Hi guys,

    Finally biting the bullet and going for a hillwalking suitable GPS. I'm just wondering what site (in addition to this one of course) is a good resource for reviews and information on GPS in general.

    Cheers!

    Hi all,
    I bought a nokia 5230 recently which has built in gps and ovi maps contained. I find ovi maps better than my garmin only downside is that it goes online to find addresses, places, i.e hotels, sites of interest etc. so it costs to look up somewhere, other than that it is excellent. Also i installed viewranger onto it which can support osi mapping for hillwalking which is very good and very accurate, all in all I got the phone for €120 and viewranger plus osi maps for €30 so it's quite reasonable especially for use as a handheld device.
