While they might be looking for a GPS all the other stuff strongly suggests that they really aren't.

??? All the features the OP did list (every last one of them) are provided by all GPS units too.
The OP said they "only need simple functions". How do you figure that encompasses fairly-complicated features like recording your track?
Some people are not really reading the OP's post very carefully.
cyccommute didn't read the post carefully, complained about people making assumptions (when they really didn't), and then went on a frenzy of assumption making.
(That they likely didn't want a GPS isn't an assumption: it's a
conclusion based on carefully reading what they wrote.)
