I've just been through a rather intense "GPS" research project preparing for an upcoming ride and the answer is "It depends on how much control you want (or need) need over your routes". What I found, over and over again, was that smartphone apps usually looked better than a Garmin and had way...

To take it up a notch I bought some Under Armour T-Shifts.... The kind that are thin like tissue paper that "keep you cool". I'll probably be freezing my ass off with the Klim and those shirts :ROFLMAO:
