| Pros | Easy to use and inexpensive. | | Cons | Where to put it when you ride? On your wrist? | | Verdict | The only thing that i dont like is where to put it when im riding. I dont like to carry a bag, and i dont want it on my wrist, but thats where it ends up going. But other then that, its awesome. My buddy has a tracker on his bike, and at the end of our rides, were usually about .5 to .8 miles off of each other. I am not sure which one is off, but oh well. Its great besides the fact of guessing where to put it. | | Recommended for: Anyone |
| Pros | Value, light weight, it does everything you need, nothing you don't. | | Cons | It gets a little lost in heavy tree cover, but it is not a big problem. | | Verdict | This is a great value. | | Recommended for: Value seekers | |
