[QUOTE="rmc_olderthandirt, post: 1271767, member: 68872"] I have the electronic compass on my GPS and I find it fairly worthless. The GPS has to be held level in order for it to work at all, which means it won't work if you have the GPS mounted to the handlebars at an angle where you can see it. If you have a GPS fix all you have to do is move a few feet and you can establish what direction you are facing and where north is. Ditto on the electronic altimeter. If you have a GPS fix, you have that information anyway. The feature that mine doesn't have that I wish it did was the ability to transfer a route track to my computer. I would love to be able to capture the track of an enduro and then overlay it onto Google Earth to see where I just rode. It would also be cool to be able to transfer it back to the GPS so I could go find that neat hill again. Battery life is an important consideration. Rechargable batteries are nice as well. My GPS only has about 14 hours of operation on a pair of AA batteries. That is long enoughj IF you put a new set in every time you use it. It is such a waste, however, to put in new batteries if the old ones are only half used. Rod [/QUOTE]
