Cycling/hiking GPS
Can anyone recommend a good GPS unit that I can use while cycling (with a bike mount, heart rate sensor interface, possibly a cadence sensor interface), and also while hiking (hi-res color screen, offline maps, and working off AA/AAA batteries)? I'd like to stay under $300 with the heart rate sensor if possible.
P.S. can anyone move this to the electronics subforum?

I got a Garmin e-trex 30 for Christmas last year and, so far, I like it. It has a HR monitor and a cadence monitor available. I do not have eather, so I can't say if they are worthwhile. The bike mount looked a bit cheesy, so I don't have that ether.
