Regarding your reference devices, how do you calibrate your bike computer(s)? --J
My GPS does not allow me to connect to a computer. I cannot check the route I traveled against a map like Google.

I calibrate my cyclometers by the roll out method. One needs to be done again. Where others read 14.4 miles, it reads 14.3 miles. And, I plotted my route at www.bikely.com. It agreed it is 14.4 miles.

I am eager to ride with this GPS on some other routes in daylight when I can watch the icon that tells me if I have a connection with satellites. I will also do a roll out check on the cyclometer setting just before I ride. And, I will check the route on Bikely.com. Unfortunately, that will have to wait for better weather.

Thank you, all, for your suggestions.
