Following on the heels of my recent experience lost out in the woods at night, I have decided to add a GPS to my holiday gift wish list. Unfortunately, I know nothing about GPSs.
I see that people post GPS trail maps. Do all GPSs have the capability to download these maps? I don't actually want to ride a trail with a GPS strapped to my handlebars, but I would really like to be able to pull it out occasionally to see where I am on the trail.
Also, how do people create the GPS trail maps? Is that a special feature of some GPSs that allows you to 'record' a ride?
Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.
