Review on Cutting-Edge Garmin Edge 1000: Color Touchscreen GPS Revolutionizes Navigation by Christopher Karamba

I use it on all bike rides and also on hikes although the numbers aren't that useful. For the price it would be nice to have a 2 in 1 device. It was difficult to learn how to operate and it took me many rides with failed or inaccurate data logging before I got to the process and was able to connect peripheral monitors (heart, cadence, bike tracking). Note that without a bike monitor, speed is calculated using GPS, which "averages" the time-distance equation over distance (not clear in the distance specs). The speedometer doesn't stop when you stop for a break, so you'll have to turn it off and remember to turn it back on when you stop for a period of time. You need to look at a special statistic, Average Driving Speed, to see how fast you're actually going when you're driving. Excellent technical support - American native and from people who know how an American can use a bike or understand instructions. Expensive.
