Bicycle GPS with Vienna Maps

Postby Woodstock » Tue Jun 22, 2010 5:57 pm

Hi Everyone

I know there are a lot of cyclists on the site so maybe someone can help me? I am looking for a gps system which includes directions and maps for vienna to be used with a cycle. I am useless at finding my way round and having to check the route everytime I want to cycle somewhere is getting v. tedious v. fast. Ideal would be a 'tom-tom' style thing but something which could just tell you on the fly where you are and give a list of directions would be good a la google maps (which doesnt have cycle routes).

I can find plenty of stuff for recording afterwards where you have been but is not what I want and am not too sure what the point is.

I also have an iphone if someone could recommend an app with said functionality.

many thanks in advance!

iPhone....Google Maps.....sorted!

Alternatively as a cheap option, buy a low-end TomTom sat nav and carry that about.

Cheaper still, buy a Vienna A-Z from a book store. They're about 8eur and funnily enough, paper books still work! :)

yeah but you can kill yourself checking the paper map every now and then on the bike... trust me, i've done this for one year and a half now :D

You can't take it on your bike, but it might still be useful
