so that means it just puts up some random number just as if I put my distance and time into a website?
I was hoping for something more accurate based on my physical activity levels.
Not sure what it uses for calorie computation but it runs a little on the high side, about 10% over what my Suunto or Polar HR's for similar workouts..

There is a BF member: GEOMAN that sells lots of gps based computers.. PM for more info.. Here is his website
