I haven’t had the chance to do that with the 1040 yet. But, that’ll be quite welcome. The 1030 always seemed to take a bit of time to get a stable fix whenever I traveled somewhere to ride, whether...

Yes. Massive improvements in track results, specifically in the “hard” environments. My 1030 was pretty good in the open, and acceptable in the city and forest, but was challenged at times. The 1040...

Completely agree, that’s why now I live a life that is much less exciting, if you will.

Personal use: I ride in mountains, I ride in urban canyons, I ride in forests, I ride next to canals, I ride...

Civilian GPS sets are accurate...enough. I'd never do anything requiring precision with any of them. Not even the new 1040 (that is hands down the best non-military receiver I've ever used). As for...

5krunner and a few other online reviews claim a gyroscope is on board. I’m also well aware of the difference between a gyroscope and compass, I wasn’t even close to suggesting they're the same.

njkayaker I think you’ve missed my point. I am not suggesting that it is unimportant or odd to know the gradient one is riding on, but to expect that kind fo data on a near instant basis is just not...

Direct use comparison: it works a lot better. Navigating is much easier with the speed that it calculates...at the start of the route and mid-route, if you go off course. The option to pause...
