Got a nice deal from Wolftracker on this little lizard. :)

Took it out today for its first run, don't even know how to use it yet, but it's very intuitive. Quick scan of the Quick Start Guide to put in the batteries and initialize the satellite pickup.

They say to get it outside under the open sky for 15 to 30 minutes. I sat next to a building under some powerlines for about 7 minutes and it was good to go. When I turn it back on now, it only takes a few seconds to acquire the satellites, even indoors.

Set it to the Trip Computer page and headed out. This gives a running account of mileage, max speed, average speed, and time. Tonight I need to go through the Guide and the full instruction book so I can give the many other functions a workout.

I am taking it with me whenever I go out. This is too much fun to miss. :thumbup:
 
Don't forget to turn on the tracks when going for a hike. You can download them to your computer, Google Earth, etc.

Have fun!
