Is this wise?
Hello,
My friend and I are preparing a trip from Belgium to Congo on two motorbikes next year.
Since a while I'm searching info for a good GPS that could help us leading the way.
After several nights of searching the internet (and this board really helped me alot) I came to the following;
A GPS is a really nice thing when you ride along good ways in countries that have good software of the roads you ride on.
For Africa, where it isn't obvious to have detailed roaddescription, it is maybe more wise to do it 'oldschool' with a good map, a compass, the sun and the stars.
And having a nice GPS with a worldmap as a backup to tell you where you are on this globe if you lost the road.
Is this correct? Offcourse there're going to be people who disagree, but my question is; is it wise to do it this way? Or is a GPS a must?
Thanks for you comment!
