THE GARMIN GPS SYSTEMS AT OUR B&B BASED PROVENCE BIKE TOURS.
Here are the benefits of riding with one of our GPS self guided systems:
Clear guidance: Detailed colour maps that move, turn & reorient themselves automatically - you just follow the clear route line. And for your peace of mind, you are always shown the distance to the next turn in meters and Kms, and it counts down accurately.
Easy to interpret turn directions: At 200m before each junction there's an audio warning & the GPS switches automatically to a clear, customised turn screen. This screen shows a clear map and a countdown in metres and seconds to the turn. And should you be unlucky and go the wrong way - the GPS will sound an alarm and tell you you've gone the wrong way!
Stop when you want to, not because you're lost!: With the GPS there's no more stopping at every junction to figure out where you are on a paper map. But when you do want to take to stop; for a photo, for a drink or a meal, a simple press of a button is enough to pause your route and another to get you going again.
Stress-free cycling: No getting lost in a place you don't know, no having to ask for directions in your best French.
Travel light: Leave all the maps at home. All we weigh you down with, is your GPS and your route notes (with the details of the best cafes, favourite vineyards, things to do, etc).

In addition to the maps and directions, our GPS systems also give you all the bike stats you could need. We have them set up with the following (there
are other data points available should you want them):
- Distance: Kms travelled.
- Time: Ride time & Time of day.
- Speed: Current & Average.
- Climbing: Metres climbed during your ride.
- Navigation: Both distance & ETA at your destination. Distance in metres to the next turn.
- Battery Level.
Note the Garmin GPS fixes solidly onto your bike's handlebars, and comes off easily for when you're visiting on foot.
GPS Briefing - On your arrival, we'll sit down over a drink, and give you a full run-down on how the GPS works; how to load rides, how to
navigate etc... but don't worry it really is a simple and a great way to tour! And as back-up, we will give you a carry card with all the
basic functions of your GPS. There's no need to worry though, we haven't lost anyone yet...

Super Provence Biking.
"We were a rather senior group of experienced road bikers with me at 80 the oldest and the youngest somewhere in her 40's. Neil supplied all of us with Garmin GPSs and sent us out on our own each morning. We did just fine, nobody got lost"
Bike Tours France in Provence - Bonnie & Andy - US - Oct 18 - 5* Tripadvisor review.An Incredible Cycling Experience.
"Neil and Natalene are very tech savvy and have programmed all the routes into GPS units which mount on your handle bars, it’s almost impossible to get lost. If you make a wrong turn, the GPS beeps and politely tells you how to get back on track, no need to fumble with maps or argue over directions. We dubbed it cycling for dummies."
Bike Holidays France in Provence - Lynn & Blair - Canada - Feb 17 - 5* Tripadvisor review.A Wonderful Experience.
