Ahh. Lads. I am sorry, I thought I posted up a reply to the questions. I must have imagined I did. Like the way I imagined I did all that coding yesterday by the looks of things today.

So, in reply to the above, and the PM:

You can buy the bike mounting kit for that on off the Magellin people, I bought mine as part of a kit, with an extra detailed maps thing and they threw in the mounting for me.

Now, the GPS does do streets and things, when you buy it, it has a map of the US in memory, with all the main roads. Like when you look at Manhattan you can see 4th st, and then the next one is 10, and you can see all the Ave streets.

Then you can save a more detailed bit of some area of interest, with all the tiny back roads, cinemas, churches, and everything on it.
You can buy more memory, and stick it in to increase the size of this area.
The "fine details" I got from a CD that also came in the kit. You just attach your computer and upload it.

Emm, it also does walking / cycling off road stuff. That's probably why the details CD is so detailed. Its is incredibly detailed in fact.
I havent played with it that much I have to say.

Lets see. A valid criticism might be that the coarse "pre loaded" map is a bit too coarse, and the fine one is too fine (meaning that the amount of memory you need to get a decent area in is high). I am not going to actually make that criticism till I have actually used it a bit but I would not be surprised to hear that.
It is very accurate though. I mean, it gives me a speed when I am walking across my bedroom. It tells me very very precisely where I am, and where I am going. And, its small, light, it has a nice orange light on it to use at night, and it takes 2 ordinary walkman batteries. Meaning you dont have to worry about messing about with plug in chargers when you are carrying it about.
