GPS Systems & Software
With Satellite technology ever more accessible and prices decreasing for some really quite advanced technology, companies such as Garmin are producing GPS systems specifically designed to mount on the bars of your bicycle to navigate the road or trail. Along with the GPS functions, most devices also work as full cycle computers showing speed cadence and heart rate.
Advanced GPS & Detailed Data
The software that either comes with the product or can be purchased to accompany them allows the user to plot routes before setting off and then lets the GPS guide them around the route. This software can even show the gradients of the terrain that they will have to tackle in 3D maps. Riders can then plot a new course around a hard hill or tackle the incline head on. Once back home from the ride, all the information can be downloaded and evaluated to relive the highs and low of the day.
