Garmin OS Discoverer Map Bundles

Four great ranges from GPST

We've just finished writing our annual general review of all existing & new GPS products & mapping offerings (which we always try and do in an impartial way) which you can read our the Which GPS page.

Writing concentrates the mind; at the end of the piece we realised just how much the Garmin offering had improved and how little improvement there had been in opposition products. Garmin seem to be the company making the running with new & innovative products in both, GPS, Digital Maps & Geocaching.

By now you'll have realised that having evaluated all the products on the market we are convinced that the current range of Garmin outdoor products offer the best range of GPS with the fullest range of GPS navigation features, the most flexible access to OS & International maps for your GPS & PC/Mac and the widest choice of uses on the hill, on the trail, on the water, on/off road, paperless geocaching and custom maps across the full range. In fact there is now only one GPS in the Garmin range that doesn't offer access to the majority of all these features the basic eTrex 10. Every other GPS Garmin Outdoors range offers access to OS mapping in some form

We as a company get great product support from both Garmin & the Outdoors Distributor Dalesman; which is why we can confidently say "if you purchase a Garmin GPS & maps from us and have any issues or how to questions re your purchase; contact us on 01768 885855 and if we can't help we know who to speak to at Garmin who can".

Whilst there is a limited market for GPS without OS mapping most users in the UK want navigate with full OS map on the screen. The most popular OS map bundles are GPS with Whole OS Discoverer GB 1:50k.

What raises the Garmin package above all other offerings is BaseCamp

All new generation Garmin GPS are BaseCamp compatible;  this essentially means that even with the most basic GPS & the worldwide map that comes with all Garmin devices & BaseCamp, you will be able to view, plan, manage and send user data to/from your GPS & PC. 

What's really clever though is that when you combine a Garmin mapping GPS and OS & Eire Discoverer mapping, Maps purchased on MicroSD card or BirdsEye Select mapping you will be able to view the mapping in BaseCamp on your PC for route planning etc.  Removing the need for additional PC based mapping for route planning & paying for OS maps twice.

How times change;  Most students on our hands-on courses now elect to spend the session around maps for PC & route planning using BaseCamp, rather than as in the past other PC based software.  Very popular with our clients is access to our OnLine resource "Getting started with your Garmin GPS, OS Discoverer maps & BaseCamp" so much that we bundle it with all Garmin GPS & OS map bundles.

Pick of the Ranges

The Montana range and updated eTrex ranges launched in autumn last year; so there is now a new generation Garmin GPS at a price to suit everyone;  however we suspect that for walkers, cyclists & outdoor enthusiasts in general the most popular units will still be the eTrex 30 , Oregon 450, GPSMap 62s & Montana 600 map bundles purely because they offer such great value for money.

The main GPS features are shared by all units; clear easy to read colour screens, high sensitive GPS reception, 3 axis electronic compass, wireless sharing, paperless geocaching, custom maps and much more.  The only real choice is touchscreen, v button operation and screen size. It can't be argued that the larger the screen the better maps appear.

The Montana 600 OS GB bundle is very popular with our customers; many of whom will appreciate the dual-orientation screen and voice prompts and for many the extra £80 won't break the bank.

Garmin cater for cyclists in two ways; with a dedicated range of cycling computers (they offer the likes of heart rate monitors and speed & cadence monitors) and devices like the Dakota 20 or Edge 800 Trail both offer whole GB OS bundles and are more suitable for cyclists who want a device offering OS maps for more general use on the hill, on the trail and on the road with auto routing as an option.

We're delighted that the eTrex range has been updated; there's been a need for a more reasonably priced range of new generation devices in the Garmin range;  we're sure the eTrex range will be very popular.
