eay, you should really get an iPhone. It has built-in GPS and even on a 3-hour ride my battery isn't hit that hard. I normally have my iPhone in a protective case in one of my jersey pockets, so I'm not looking at it while I'm riding anyway.
OldsCOOL, other than that, I have very good cell reception in my normal ride areas (even with AT&T
) I'm not sure if the GPS works as well as a dedicated GPS device, like a Garmin, especially when one of the climbs has a section, albeit extremely short, with a 70% grade.
