Day 1 (GPS on bike, Forerunner)
Day 2 (GPS on bike, Forerunner)
The GPS unit on my bike is a Garmin eTrex Vista which also detects altitude. I have it on my handlebars and use it as a bike computer to tell me speed, avg. pace, elevation, time until sunset, and things like that while I'm riding.
The ForeRunner 305 is a wrist-unit which can also grab my heartrate (except I forgot my HR chest strap at home for MS150) and cadence (except the sensor was bumped on the second day and didn't work) wirelessly from those sensors. The watch can only be recharged from a USB-type connector, so it crapped out in the middle of the second day. I sicne bought this thing at Best Buy that takes 2 AA batteries and powers a small USB plug. Good for cell phones and units like this on the road.
Count the one on my phone which I used to find out where I was in relation to roads and that was 3 GPS units total on one bike last weekend!

Nice tip on the Best Buy USB battery power charger for the garmin GPS 301 which I have. A few times the 13 hour battery life wasn't enough.
