I believe this has been covered before, but just a quick note saying that I've
been using my GPS as a hiking odometer and I like it. I can go off trail, up
and down steep hills taking whatever sized step suits the terrain and not worry
about it throwing my distance off. Can also be used biking, skiing, blading,
paddling, etc. I put it in a fanny pack and forget about it, works great.

Can also be used for Geocache hunting! (why I have it in the first place).

That's all.

My wife got me a small one for my birthday. I've used it rollerskiing,
running and paddling. Paddling was most interesting with the GPS. You
could immediately see when you got in/out of wind, current, deep water,
etc. I did notice that the elevation differed by about 75-80ft paddling
across a lake:-) Probably not going to rely on it to map the birkie...
