Any one that put faith in their gps device for telling them the temps and whether I'd have to think must be desperately lacking other sources of obtaining information.
Now you're making assumptions. First off I don't even use the GPS. I have a pro level weather station that reports to Weather Underground and my web page. We ride 25mi. inland 5 days a week from the beach to Santa Ana Canyon which is in an entirely different weather system. I check WxUnderground stations every day all the way out so I can be prepared. I know how the Garmin relates to local stations when I'm out in the sun (weather stations report shade) on hot asphalt and in the canyon it can be well over a hundred. A load of 250mi/week and too many days over 95 can really set you back.
