Hi,
I love walking but hate getting lost all the time, and map reading in general!
I'd like to buy an outdoor GPS, looking at Garmin Colorado 300, but don't really understand what these things can / can't do.
1. Does it give you a couple of numbers that tell you the grid-point you are on a map? That would be a good start!
2. Best of all would be if you could program your route on the GPS (with the help of a map) before leaving home, then the GPS just keeps directing you as you go around. Is this possible, or am I still waiting for such as machine to be invented lol?!
3. Screenshots of live maps etc look cool, but I bet theyre just if youre in the States? If I'm traipsing around the penines is it going to look like a green screen with a dot in the middle?, lol!
