I already have a screen based GPS on my iPHONE and am actually kind of curious how that would do in the back-country. Motion X is an app I have seen recommended. I am reluctant to spend a bunch of money on another piece of equipment which is basically similar to my iPHONE and then of course my car GPS. Plus, I kind of liked the idea of having a heart rate monitor to use this for tracking excercise stuff as well. Thanks for that review - it was great and highlights a need for a good quality watch product for the backcountry. I'm leaning towards a good handheld unit now. I want good battery power too. I've been lost before in the sierras, lost my 7.5 minute map somewhow and I love the idea of the security that these devices provide.
