Untitled ReviewSold my GPS unit (Etrek) and bought this instead. The altimeter is a great thin to have, and someday I'll learn to use the other features, but the battery lasts forever in cold temps, and the face is east to read, even at night. THe only bad thing is that the alarm aint worth a crap for me as I sleep past it, when I do sleep that is. One star demotion just for that, otherwise it rocks!!
