Didn't bother getting one as my phone had pretty good satnav and maps system, so I just kept to that instead.

Not sure the scale it goes to though. I think it was 1:25000.

ive got one of these little yellow etrex which came in very handy when we were lost in heavy fog/snow and it proved invaluable as it gave me a grid ref and I new exactly were I was on the map which is also essential.

a good solid unit which I use as a backup with a map though.


I also have a garmin Oregon 300 (obsolete now) which has the os maps on it, but I wouldn't recommend buying one its a battery eater.
also had it repaired once (ouchy).

if you really want a gps unit with maps try satmap http://www.shop.ordnancesurveyleisure.co...tAodszsAwg
I havent used one but have heard good reviews on it
hope this helps .....?
