Good For Some, But NOT for the Backcountry

this one is a hard review for me. it really depends on your needs and intended use. for a road runner and road cyclist this could be a great tool to keep accurate track of your distance. i've found that in the wide open this thing works like a charm and keeps very accurate mileage, with few connectivity issues. i used this to track my mileage on a two day mtn bike ride of the Kokopelli trail (http://bit.ly/1947we) and it was spot on... until the battery died. which reminds me i found the battery life disappointing.for the adventure athlete who spends most of their time in the backcountry this unit is.. well.. useless. it just doesn't stay connected enough to give you any meaningful data. i wish it did.
