Navigation

We have been navigating using paper maps, which we prefer; we are a Sat Nav free zone in our vehicles at home!  However, we have the back up of a smart phone with GPS. Using various apps (see below) we can check we are on the right road, navigate through towns and cities (saved us a lot of time) and also to find places to stay.

- ioverlander - accomodation, campsites and general overland info that can be used offline

- Mapsme - free mapping, route finding and also shows some accomodation and campsites that can be used offline

- Navigator - like Mapsme but with better route input.

However, Dee has to hold the phone on the bike and in some towns this is a bit dodgy - we are concerned it may get snatched out of her hands. The solution...

In Bolivia, we bought and converted a 2016 diary to hold the phone and look like a travel book! Dee can now take a sneaky look when needed. So far so good!
