Feature: Get the most from your Garmin GPS

We all know you can watch your speed, check the gradient and so on with your Garmin. But how much else can you do? Michael Hanslip discusses how you can really get the most from one of these gadgets.

Interbike 2012

For a decade or so from the mid 1980’s until the mid 1990’s, America’s annual Interbike show could reasonably claim to be the world’s pre-eminent global dealer show.
