Etrex Vista

I have a Vista that I received as a gift last Christmas. I have used it a few times hiking to measure the distances traveled and the elevation changes. Helps me understand why I'm so winded after it tells me I just climbed up 1500 feet.

Haven't had the opportunity to use it wheeling, just hiking so far, and for measuring distances gone on pavement. Kinda fun to see how much time spent sitting at lights vs. actually driving, and avg. MPH.

I have forgotten I had it a couple times when I should have been using it, like the time I was doing ride-alongs at Sears Point. Kinda hard to see the speedo from the passenger seat, would have been nice to tell if it was 105 or 110 MPH.
