I wholeheartedly agree with LowNslow - buy a decent moving map GPS - the Pilot III is the best and smallest of the lot. In a country that is hardly renowned for either wonderful visibility or startling geographical features by which to navigate (yes I know this is a generalisation but compared with many countries it is undeniably true), a GPS provides a welcome reality check / nav cross check.

The Pilot III is utter simplicity to use (just turn it on if all you want is the moving map!), it is cheap and reliable - save for the occasional software glitches, well publiced on this forum eg by SSD - and very accurate.
