Having lived through the Dark Days of pre-touchscreen Garmin devices...I never want to go back. There are certain times where it can be a bit glitchy like heavy rain; but the 1% inconvenience is worth it IMHO.

The problem is that GPS speed is very laggy, as you're needing to aggregate speed from raw GPS coordinates live. Which doesn't matter in say a car, where speed is pretty constant--but a bike is constantly changing speed. Also, it uses more battery and is laggy compared to a paired wheel sensor that counts wheel revs and is calibrated.
