Rating for family bike ride with Oregon 450t. The Topo2012 Pro South I could test the device on 250km bike ride. This I had prepared with Mapsource OSM bike map and "condensed" as Route WinGDB3. This route, however, we are not followed to a large extent, on the same day. Overall, the product reasonable routing for bicycle on the device possible and significantly better than with the OSM alternative that often occur completely absurd proposals. The routing is especially good if you prescribe certain short cuts eg 10km. However, the following restrictions apply: 1. The maps can only be as good as current topographic maps. This leads, for example, on the former military training area Münsingen means that the route follows paths that are no longer available and also not released. Even premises that are not even locked in topographic maps are traversed mercilessly. - As I said, a plan with current topographical paper map over the same restrictions had stumbled. 2. The "avoid slope" option does not consistently cause eg followed the Neckar. It would be here a variable weighting desirable: What is the mountain detour worth to me? 3. It is a pity that the trails are not highlighted in the map.
On the plus side, the system has shown partly amazingly good options us. In addition, it is just awesome, not to every few hundred meters to dig out the card, but to instead be previously notified on time of an upcoming turn. The contrast on the Oregon is serviceable with automatic lighting activation.
