yeah, bolo, it does elevation stuff. i haven't had time to fool with it, like i said, but reading the stuff gives me the impression you can download it and get a 'map' of the course you rode by elevation. pretty cool, huh? i'm gonna have to spend some serious time with this thing. right now, i like it simply because it's already proven itself to be more reliable than my polar or timex ever were. i also really like the 'custom' window where you can select what info is displayed in each of the three window panes
