Here’s a picture and description at rei.com.

I’ll tell ya. I’m a first time GPS user wanting to use something for the bike so that when I got lost, I found find my way back to location. My main beef with this is that to get maps, you have to buy the $130.00 DVD.

I’m sure this is supposed to be that way, but it seems excessive. I’ll return it today. During my research I did find this gem. Here’s a description from Garmin’s website. Looks AWESSSSOME!

  • Easy-to-install—no calibration required. Just snap it in the included bike mount and go
  • High-sensitivity GPS receiver—knows your position even in tree cover and canyons, making it extremely reliable for navigation
  • Customizable cycle computer—shows up to eight different data fields for continuous feedback
  • Virtual Partner™—lets you “race” a virtual competitor, making training fun
  • Courses—lets you “race” against a recorded course to try to match previously set speeds at every point along the way
  • Auto Pause™—pauses the training timer when you slow down below a specified speed and resumes when you speed up again so you can focus on your ride
  • Auto Lap ™—automatically triggers a lap every time you pass a specified location or travel a preset distance
  • Training Center software—gives you the ability to create workouts, manage and download courses, and create a detailed post-ride analysis that charts your performance



‘Sup?
