+1 on that and everything else dennismont said. Makes a good backup to my bike computer because I keep resetting it by accident and losing my ride data. Use it to calibrate my computer. Computer is now at -1%, -1%, -1%, -1.4%, just in case you wanted to know. Heh.
I would like to have a large screen GPS though so I could map a route and the GPS would guide me back to it if I had to veer off the path, just the way car GPS works.
