Recommend me a GPS unit!

[Tarrel]

I'm now using an iPad mini (3G version) with the Outdoors mapping application. Delighted with it.

The OS maps (1:25,000, 1:50,000 and 1:250,000 available) are the cheapest I've seen. The screen is ideal; much better than a phone or dedicated GPS. Battery life is excellent; at least 10 hours continuous use. Much, much more if you just turn it on for a quick position fix every now and then. It fits comfortably in the map pocket of my jacket. It's a bit smaller than a folded OS map. The maps are downloaded to the unit and it uses the internal GPS receiver, so no phone signal required. Plus, of course, you've got all the other iPad functionality; music, podcasts, books, connectivity, etc.

My 16Gb, 3G version was £369.
