Default GPS Bike computers



using a GPS 76csx on 'track'-no screen-saves battery power. 14 hours
now using the screen only for turn and occasional direction checks. No
heart monitor....
try asking a sattelite navigation or GPS group, there are engineering
types there.
Garmin's directions for transfer from PC are difficult. 5 sets with
two explanatory sentences hidden in two seperate manuals but the
online help tries harder.

BTW, multiple functions in one unit isn't indicated. The altimeter is
cool as combined with TOPO USA, topography/altitude gives location.
Nashbar sells a heart rate monitor for $40, Cateye sells wireless for
$40. Cateye's batt last years, the monitor? But those two function on
the GPS? dumb batt drain without purpose. PITA
