Motorbike or handheld device for South America?
Hi!
I would like to buy a simple navigation device, that will help me to explore South America - on the Panamericana and off the road. I know handheld devices are popular as they are waterproof, shockproof and can store a lot of data that you can transfer to your computer, but can they navigate you, or they are just GPS showing your position and recording your data? What functionalities I will really miss buyin simple Garmin etrex? Or, the other way round.
What are pros and cons of motorbike and handheld unit? As I said: I will go from Colombia to Argentina. Important: it is my real start to travelling on the motorbike.
Thanks for explaining basic things.
Cheers
Michal
