Cult Film
At 30 Duncan Bannatyne had no money and was enjoying life on the beaches of Jersey. He saw a story of someone who had made himself a millionaire and decided to do the same. Five years later he had done it and now he is worth 168 million. In this remarkable book Bannatyne relives his colourful path to riches from ice cream salesman to multi-millionaire explaining how anyone could take the same route as he did – if they really want to. Hugely articulate and with numerous fascinating and revealing stories to tell this is an autobiography and a business book unlike any other – but then Bannatyne isn’t like any other businessman either.

When it’s not guiding you on adventures by track or trail, Oregon can also handle the road. Enjoy turn-by-turn directions by plugging in optional TOPO GB or City Navigator mapping cards.

Garmin mapping handhelds contain a high-sensitivity GPS receiver, designed for optimum view of the sky. Quickly and strongly lock onto a signal and benefit from improved tracking under trees and near tall buildings.

With 18 hours’ charge from just two AA batteries, you can depend on Oregon to endure any outdoor activity – whether going out and about for some fresh air or planning a full-day’s excursion.

Waterproof to IPX7 standard, if you can brave the elements, Oregon can too. There’s no need to take cover in a downpour and no problem navigating on the water or across wetlands. The MicroSD card slot is inside the waterproof battery compartment too.

Save multiple points on your journey as a ‘Track Log’ for an accurate record of your route. Reverse the path to return to your start point or share and review in Google Earth when you get home.

Your GPS mapping handheld has ample memory to save and store route data. Whether a waypoint, favourite or location, save multiple locations on your unit and Garmin will guide you straight there or make it part of a future route.

There’s ample space onboard your Oregon to save key routes, points or journey data. If you want to build up a collection of favourite journeys, just slot in a MicroSD data card for extra storage.

Ideal for manual navigation off the beaten track, a built-in electronic compass keeps you on course, however far you stray from the path. It even gives bearing information when standing still. Seek out a saved waypoint and navigate easily to a mapped position.

A built-in barometer tracks changes in atmospheric pressure to pinpoint your precise altitude. The altimeter screen plots elevation and profile. You can even plot barometric pressure over time to keep an eye on changing weather conditions.
