Took delivery of my cheapy bluetooth GPS from eBay this week. I'm using it with a Nokia 6120 phone, and the Nokia SportsTracker. Can't figure out how to do waypoints, so when I reach a major junction, I continue on one road for a few hundred metres, then do a u-turn and go back to the other road.
There's a huge hole between the N20 and the N24, and this week I've traced and mapped much of the R511, R512 and R513 going south out of Limerick, as well as some of the R roads heading East to West. I'm hoping to map all of the R roads and many of the tertiary roads in East Limerick and North Cork over the next few months, as my work takes me all over those areas. I'm also going to try and improve the streets in Limerick city where I live, although my GPS doesn't work so well when walking.
This stuff is pretty addictive!

If you are walking, placing the GPS in the top pocket of a rucksack facing upwards makes a big difference as it doesn't move around as much.
