dantheman Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Mark there have been a few topics on GPS kit in the "kit forum" this one may help you but I'm way behind the times so can't offer personal advice apart from my Suunto watch altimeter is really useful instead of a vario.

gazza_c Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 I bought the garmin emap off ebay,they are a couple years old now but I think they are exellent,big screen,track back loads of other features and not bad for about £70, Alti/Vario I got the flytec 6005 from fly bubble for about £160 again many features that I havent used yet but well pleased with it. good luck Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
