Garmin Oregon 300

£350.00

The Oregon is a sleek device with lovely clean lines due to the lack of buttons – it’s activated solely by touch-screen.

Blackberry Bold 9000

£500.00

The Bold is a great gadget that combines office/telephone functionality with a GPS receiver, but it isn’t compatible with any Ordnance Survey mapping software so doesn’t really cut it as a GPS receiver. There is a link-up with a partner website www.trimble-outdoors.com which for a small subscription makes it possible to review walk statistics as well as to exchange route ...

Magellan eXplorist 500

£369.00

This GPS unit from Magellan is very user-friendly, with a decent-sized screen and clear colour display.

Magellan eXplorist 600

£320.00

This GPS unit from Magellan requires routes to be downloaded firstly by converting them to the correct format on your PC, then saving them to the unit, which is only recognized by your PC as a removable drive – clunky compared to the Garmin system, but a lot more straightforward than some others. For inputting waypoints or routes by hand, ...
