Hello all,
I am starting to take bikepacking more seriously. i.e going on multiple 3day+ solo trips and have found that my (dumb) smartphone (iphone 8) is just no cutting it…. It cant handle a single drop of water and battery last like 35 seconds. That being said i’m in the market for a cycle computer. I am planning on doing [Altravesur](https://bikepacking.com/routes/altravesur-bikepacking-route/) solo… its approx 30days in the spanish mountains, so need something tough, rugged, long battery life (ideally rechargeable although battery is fine…. just wasteful), with good basemaps (im a GIS nerd, so it needs to not just be a line im following). I do not care about performance metrics, although seeing speed and distance and climbs is nice, but not a deal beraker.
Anyone know of any fairly priced computers that do the job? The internet algorithim pointed me to the Garmin Etrex 32x? is that bikepacking approved?
