That's an interesting point. Does this thing stop counting climbing when it's not on the altitude mode? That would seem a little strange -- given that virtually every computer I've ever had has continued to count distance on other modes (such as average speed and so on). I too would like one with a gradent reading, but that might be a little beyond my budget at this stage.
