If a person wants to take advantage of the modern world. what modern navigation equiptment is good and reliable for a bicycle tourist?
Or
How do you follow a line on a phone or other navigation device into the next decade? Or into Canada or Guatemala or someplace nice.
International navigation is the question. How does it work? what gear do we need to make it work?
I have a lot of old stuff. My newest bike is an 2009., My gps is at least 10 years old, as is my phone. I have a pile of old tires that may have been nice back in the day.
I am cleaning out the closet. I built some new tubeless ready wheels for the 26er. I got some new 2.6 x 29 tubeless ready rires for the Fargo. I even bought an 11 speed friction shifter and cassettes. etc.
New 2019 tubeless tires inflate so very easy compared to the old ones. How long should we cling to the old stuff when the nw stuff is new and improved?
I am updating my gear and making myself ready for the next decade.
