Not continually .. but at least at the start to load maps. And you'll need a lot of time to get the better GPS maps. Noit a calibration, just data transfere. The computer interface can be better tahn teh GPS interface.. and the larger screen size is much better for planing.
You'll find the GPS maps are not as good as the paper maps you can buy along the way (though those usually don't have lat/long marks on them) and the paper maps are better for planing the next day or twos riding.
The GPS is what I use when riding .. well when it has the detail need - then it saves a lot of time. When it does not have teh detail it can be used to place me on the paper map with more precission than using just the odometer. It saves some time then.
