Hi, I'm thinking of buying one of these but the deal breaker for me depends on what the trip computer is like. Does it work in a similar way to a bike computer/Garmin Edge?
The main reason for me wanting one is for the extended battery life/removable batteries over the edge 605. I also like the fact they don't have buttons on the bottom of the screen, I always lean on the ones on the Edge.
The OS mapping will be much better than the old TOPO maps too.
Cheers for any help.
There's a little bit of info here:

and elsewhere in the same forum.
Also the gps bit of the yacf forum - there's a few threads.

- see the second second down about the 'page' key.
(The vista/legend hcx seem to be the default device for audaxing - I suspect the trip computer is probably similar, tho' probably doesn't allow for different bikes)
Don't think the mapping source really changes - you still need to either buy them from garmin or use openstreetmaps in some form (see last link)
I can't quite make my mind up between the larger oregon or the etrex 30 (ie for hrm support) - tho' even the hcx is tempting at ~120 for a remanufactured unit with normal warranty..
