I have a Garmin 62s and have had no problem with it since soon after they came out. However, having just had a week up in the Lakes with my Samsung Galaxy S II with the Viewranger software, I am really considering that given a bit of battery power for the smartphone, there's no camparison really.

The Viewranger is so very easy to use, the screen is just so good at rendering the maps with scrolling a breeze. GPS signal was never lost in quite horrid weather and the phone being in my pocket and rucksack.

Hi Stephen, yes, the fitzroy is a nice jacket but the sleeves are falling apart, the filling is coming out at the hemcord exit and the hoods wire too.

I've had a look at the photon belay, and yes, it does appear to have no filling around a thin strip on the sleeves. Closer inspection however suggests that it's because (it's around the adjusting tab) it avoids bulking on adjusting your cuffs.
