[QUOTE="tyesai, post: 946083, member: 56829"] As far as showing detail it doesn't have a "map" on it. It doesn't show roads or hills or anything like that. All it does, and I say that lightly because to me the thing is a frieking miracle, is kind of track you. It has a screen, you turn it on and you are in the center of the screen marked by a cursor. You move and the cursor moves and draws a line. As you travel it draws a map of where you have been, kind of like an etcher sketch. What it allows you to do is see where you have gone from your starting point. Then what you can do is see where you are in relation to your starting point. You can then use it to backtrack if you want. What I usually end up doing is using it to see where I am in relation to my starting way point then just head back towards it. It has a couple of different screens, one is like a compass type screen that will show you wich way you are going, where your desired destination is and where the sun and the moon are in relation to the way you are traveling. That is helpful sometimes because it lets you know that to get back to your point of origin you need to keep the sun at your back, or on the right side of you. It also will show elevation, speed, lat and long. It is a pretty cool little toy and accurate to within about 10 feet sometimes. I like it, one time me and my buddy went out to ride on Cherokee logging land and we got completly turned about. Neither one of us had a clue as to where we were. Just consult Mr. GPS and it turned out we were about 300 feet away from the trucks. Just go across the stream and take a right. Like I said, $100 at Wal-Mart, go buy it and play with it in your truck for a couple of days. If you don't like it take it back. I don't mount mine on the handlebars I just put it in my camel back and consult when necessary for the above mentioned breaking reason although mine seems well made and is water proof. [/QUOTE]
