Anyway, my curiosity was about the pioneer unit. You seem to be asking questions you know the answer to, and making a commentary on devices you've never used. Then again, you used to argue that garmins had no data issues back in the day, but in time you came around. Sometimes there are people who have a different perspective than you and have already been where you're heading.
TR, I'm not arguing with you. I just meant that for me 1 > 2 in that GPS is the feature I value over the start/stop stuff. I didn't ask any questions other that how the non start-stop worked as I've never used anything other than a garmin or now this pioneer.
Your attention to the minutia in power calibration, recording, all that is fine. Don't be sensitive about it. It works for you, you enjoy it, all that's great. Every time I try to be light-hearted or less than 100% deadpan serious this goes sideways. Let's not.
My garmin(s) never recorded wrong data until the gps went bad on one which was warrantied. This 510 was great until it wasn't. I don't really recall ever having a love affair with garmin after the pita it was to get the 500 fixed, but the 510 randomly losing rides erased any warm feelings I have for them. Lesson learned.

Aren't you a mod? Trying to stir **** so you can meet your points quota?
Anyway, my work address is public so send it there. Make it detour bars, though.
