Looks good fo the price. It doesn't have paths on it though does it. Would be great for rambling/walking it it did.

To use for walking you don't need a GPS with maps, you can upload routes to it from a PC mapping program and then follow the GPS route in conjunction with a map you've printed off the PC. It works really well, the handheld GPS deivces with OS level mapping tend to have quite short battery life and small screens, neither of which are much use for walking.

It looks like a bargain to me.

I have gone for this. Will see what it is like and if no good will return it under the 14 day money back guarantee ;o)

Cheers!

One of those reviews says no PC Connectivity. But Maplin say "Upload waypoints from PC programmes".
