So, I guess the question is, does the device have any use other than as a tool to train to go faster over distance?
@
doctorisotope mentioned he uses it as a fuel gauge, but isn't that really an endurance/racing issue? Honest question.
You also don't need to measure speed or distance to, as you say, go fast when you feel like it,
so you could ask the same question about the speedometer/odometer.
