These days, it's amazing how much electronic equipment you can carry, even on a racing bike. A full satellite navigation system, mapping system and data collection system are all contained within my Garmin Edge 705. It clips to the handlebar stem, is about the size of a typical laptop mouse, and yet tells me where to go, shows me where I am and records how well I'm doing.
My mobile phone, a Sony Xperia Z1, also has detailed mapping loaded, and can also show me where I am, but this time on high resolution maps on a large, colour screen.
Finally, my camera, a Canon EOS-M, combines high resolution image wizardry and great optics in a tiny package that fits easily within the storage capacity I have on the bike.
So there's absolutely no excuse for getting lost, for failing to record my tracks and data or for duff photos. Apart from operator error, that is.
