WD: A...RH: You shoud be worried ... very worried!<br /><br />WD: Always with the existential questions! Why am I carrying a GPS? Why does he ride a bike? When the house flooded I used my REI CC to pay for the rebuild, and with that GiHoondous rebate check, well I can only use so many down filled, gore tex, purvian print eye glass cases so and Chairman Meow simply refuses to go back packing with a kitty pannier so ...GPS!<br /><br />I actually like the outputs of the Sigma better. Don't know how to put routes into the GPS but here is how it is handy to me:<br /><br />When I'm 'not sure' I zoom out and see the surrounding roads and by that trick have on occasion figured out I was on the right track, or on other occasions figured out how to get back on track.<br /><br />I suppose I could leave it turned off until I need it in that situation, but the little moving maps can be pretty entertaining.<br /><br />I suspect by your comment I should assume that there is no 'freqency swtich' on either of these gizmos to simply solve the problem.<br /><br />Dang!<br /><br />Dr CDr Codfishhttp://www.drcodfish.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2264095833827785600.post-61157698664993904792009-10-13T08:43:20.065-07:002009-10-13T08:43:20.065-07:00Dear Paul,
I suppose it depends on why you're...Dear Paul,<br /><br />I suppose it depends on why you're carrying the GPS. I've put the gps in my jersey pocket to eliminate the interference, but I generally only use it to generate ride metrics for my permanents--I don't ride with one for navigation, as routefinding here in Colorado is pretty straightforward.<br /><br />I got sick of dealing with Sigma wireless computers due to interference issues with my HRM (though I really liked their user interface) and started using a Cateye strada wireless (ODO). It has worked fine with a Vista HCx (ODO/altimeter/track generator), a Polar 720i HRM (altimeter/calorie counter), and a SON 20R/B+M Cyo all humming away on overnight rides. <br /><br />Good luck!<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />WillWMdeRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15531125254328045995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2264095833827785600.post-2077586526914712852009-10-13T07:27:45.447-07:002009-10-13T07:27:45.447-07:00I was starting to worry about you.
