Links - G.P.S. Sites

The increasing use, and usefulness, of GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) units for navigation on the mountains has prompted a new section of links. There is a mixture of commercial and home sites, including hardware, software (some free) and others. Feel free to suggest other sites.

Pictured above: one of the latest Garmin models - the Legend C. The 'C' stands for colour which it has in addition to 24Mb of memory. And a 36-hour battery life. Whoopee!

Don't forget our GPS Data Disk - contains the routes for all Munros, Corbetts and other Scottish hills in the universal gpx format.

And, newly added, links to free files which will display contour lines on a suitable GPS unit. Now with Version 2 available!
