Any road angle will do. But you will need to clone a card to add MM.

You need a Road Angel 7000 - doesn't matter if it is an Adventurer or Navigator model.

Once you have the Road Angel, ideally you will need to a 2Gb SD card such as this one  available more cheaply on eBay etc . It needs to be a good quality card not the cheapest 2GB one you can find. You may be lucky and one will come with the Road Angel. You can get away with a 1Gb card for Memory Map but you will be limited as to how much digital mapping you can load onto it.

There are lots of helpful folk on here who can save you all the hassle of setting up your Road Angel - just ask. The way this is usually done is for the new RA owner to send the lucky volunteer his/her SD card onto which the MemMap software and mapping is copied onto the card (cloning) and returned so that the RA is immediately ready for use on the Devon lanes biggrin

If you are running Memory Map on your PC/laptop (which is essential in my view to get the best from the RA) then the volunteer would need to know the version of MemMap software so that the SD card will be compatible.

Licencing of the software is your responsibility.

I was on a 125 mile trail ride very recently where the run leader worked entirely from his Road Angel and not a map in sight the whole day - so don't give up too easily - it's well worth persevering - the RA is a fabulous piece of kit and costs a fraction of what the competition costs wink

Up until a couple of years ago all I ever used was maps then as I also do some walking  I was introduced to memory map after buying V5 1:50000 software for the whole of GB went on to buy 1:25000 scale from digital map shop for the south west I used to use this with a garmin vista HCx as I could plan walks on the PC and transfer them to the garmin or do a walk with the garmin and then transfer the data to the PC. I have transfered all the lanes I have ever done over twenty years or so from my maps onto memory map and also the Devon TRF overlays. I find the memory map useful as before I had a book for Rides out and lane comments now I keep them on MM. I also recently used the garmin on my bike only to plot the route and then later transfer it to the laptop (using its own batteries) I can see the advantages of having OS maps on the bike as the garmin is just a GPS but wouldn't a MM 2800 or 3500 be better.Will the road angel plot a route as you go to transfer back to PC or will it only follow one already plotted on to it from a PC? Not sure about powering RA from my bike supply though. Would like to buy something just trying to suss out the best optionconfuse hopfully with the help of some expertssmile Sorry so many questions

After laming for just over a yr I for one can recommend the RA, fantastic bit of kit, but then, I haven't used anything else.

It does track your route for you to view on MM after as well, not much advise but I hope it helps. Try and jump on a ride where one is used to have a look for yourself, always welcome on one of minewink.gif but I am a bit far for you to travel!
