GPS Question!


XTreme

Recommended Posts

I rely on my iphone for navigation. Google maps to check which roads to take as you can see tiny ones, not really havingit guidingme but looking at it as a very clever map.

Obviously on tour it’s great to find restaurants or stuff like that, and also very practical to have your camera strapped to the handlebar instead of fishing it out of my pocket for a quick picture. 
 

The bad point about this is overheating and too cold. When it overheats from sun exposure battery life becomes a joke and I risk damaging it and being without a phone when away, which is far from ideal as my work is done through it.

So now I am pondering getting a rugged phone strickly for use as navigation on the bike since they cope with heat a lot better, and not risking a precious phone that way. On the other hand, this would only really be needed three months out of the year or when going to Morocco.
