hi
i cant work out wether garmin's new 200 model has Altitude capability on it.

but im after a computer that allows me to see how high or low i am. i think its interesting as well as other info these computers can tell you.

any recommendations would be grateful.
cheers

Ah, the unit only tells you total ascent, not your altitude at a given time.
When you upload your ride to garminconnect however, you get all your altitude info on there

I think all of the handheld ones for walkers etc will show altitude. I've got an old handheld for my boat which does, didn't cost much as it was second hand but its quite bit bigger than my bike comp

Are you sure the 200 doesn't show it? The 705 does.
