[QUOTE="BigEd, post: 59843, member: 161"] Dear Tim, You are correct that it is possible to navigate using a "Smart" phone. I have done so myself and it was fine for doing a simple A to B. Dedicated GPS devices like the Zumo 550 - 660 etc will do the same A to B route using an address or post code but they really come into their own when you want to do a complicated route that doesn't necessarily take the obvious quickest or shortest route. Using mapping software on a computer I can plot a route that misses out towns, takes a twisty road motor cycle interesting road, quiet country lanes, nice views, that little out of the way village with the nice pub, etc, etc. I can then upload that route onto the GPS. I'm not trying to sell GPS, just pointing out that is often the case there are horses for courses. [/QUOTE]
