Following an ongoing adventure with the phonehouse selling me a waterproof phone which broke from water damage, I came back to my nokia n900 as a navigation system. Probably the best and last HW/SW combination developed by nokia, it's packed with features which make it a great device to take on the bike. Although the OS was discontinued, still a significant quantity of support groups exist for it, and its absolutely amazing how one person works can make such great software. For the Navigation, we chose to use the Mapero, a mapping/navigation application allowing both on-line and off-line navigation - perfect for taking abroad. To save precious battery life, it allows setting the gps pooling time. So once every 120 seconds turns out to be more than enough to keep the log of our route and see where we are heading!
