Easy to use and inexpensive.
Cons
Where to put it when you ride? On your wrist?
Review
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.
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.
Review
This is a great value.
