Please do not park in this car park.

Western Sydney Parklands - MTB update Feb 2014
Hi all - great news from Western Sydney Parklands. Josh French advises:
"As Yolanda advised you in August last year the Trust has allocated funding to construct a Mountain Bike Course at Cecil Hills in the Western Sydney Parklands.

Smart Phone GPS or Garmin / Similar Bike Computer
I just lost my dumb phone and am in the market for a new smart one. My question is are smart phones adequate for GPS tracking and current location on a map whilst out on the trails, or should I be looking to get a separate GPS Bike Computer?
The primary use for this is going to be finding my way around new trails here and overseas, so I need current map location etc.
If phones are OK are they all essentially the same, but depend on the app it's running? ie. can I get away with buying a cheap phone?

A few laps at lunchtime today was great! But there was a huge deluge of rain around 3pm... and it's still raining at my place now. (just a few kms away)
Keep off until the rain lifts.
