To download routes, they need to be converted to the right format and loaded on to a memory card using a PC card reader of some sort (not supplied). This card is then slotted into the GPS where the route can be transferred to the internal memory. A long-winded process that spoils an otherwise easy-to-use model with a large clear colour screen and lovely rubber buttons that are easy to press, even with gloves on. Its big screen is easy to read in all light conditions, and the large direction arrow is simple to follow. It picked up a fix quite quickly and this, combined with an electronic compass and barometric altimeter, made navigating easy and interesting. However, it’s huge and very heavy.
