^^^ This just doesn't make sense at all. The OP clearly stated that all they need is to manually tell the computer the total distance they want to ride and have the computer to monitor the distance already ridden. In order to implement this there's no need for GPS, coordinates, routes or anything like that. Just a simple wheel sensor is sufficient. As I stated above, Cateye Commuter is a very basic device that does exactly that. The only thing that's missing in that Cateye is the ability to digitally display the remaining distance.
