Best budget GPS for Christmas 2018 So, Andy, as we approach Christmas 2018 what is the best ‘budget’ GPS unit. First of all I think we need to clarify, what’s are we going to classify as a ‘budget GPS unit’ – let’s say - £350.00 or less - Garmin eTrex 20x with 3,000 sq km of mapping - more - Garmin eTrex 30x with 3,000 sq km mapping - more - Garmin eTrex Touch 25 with 3,000 sq km of mapping - more - Garmin eTrex Touch 35 with 3,000 sq km of mapping - more - eTrex Touch 25t with Discoverer 1:50k maps - more - eTrex Touch 25t with TOPO PRO 1:50k maps - more 2 – Geoffrey our GPS Training Bot This week we have launched ‘Geoffrey the GPS Training Bot’. We are currently showcasing him to the public as we are training him but in the next few weeks, he will find his final home inside the GPS Training online resource. Geoffrey the bot constantly analyses and catalogues any answers we email to customers and with a little bit of AI, its more learning and indexing rather than artificial Intelligence, but AI is the current buzz word, he will hopefully start to answer your GPS tech questions. We have all been very entertained in the last few days so please do give him a go and over time his knowledge will hopefully broaden as we add more data for him to draw from. To put Geoffrey the GPS Training Bot through his paces please click here and you will see Godfrey down the bottom left of our support portal. I hope you find him as entertaining as we have! 3 - 2018 Ordnance Survey mapping - Routable TOPO PRO, this is just for Garmin users.
