SmartPhone GPS vs Garmin Maps
I am considering changing my riding habits. Previously I RARELY used GPS while riding (other than as a backup in case I got lost). I pretty much knew my riding area. I am considering changing my habits such that having realtime GPS info (primarily following a pre-set route and occasionally using it for on the fly decisions) would be more important.
I have 2 choices here. I could upgrade the maps on my aging Edge 800 (or alternatively maybe buy a Edge 1030). Or I could get a mount for my Smartphone (mid-range Motorola/Android device) and use Google Maps. FWIW, I very rarely use GPS in my car at all. It is only on the very occasional trip where I almost have to relearn how the thing works as I just don't use it but maybe once a year (in my car).
Thoughts on which is the better path. Obviously the 1030 path is the most expensive, but I would not rule it out on that basis.
Thanks.
