I wasn't sure if I was to put this here as equipment or in the training section....
I am looking to use a GPS as part of my riding, in particular training to record where, when, ascent/desent, distance, time etc and then to upload my ride to the pc to keep a track.
I have a Pocket PC with Bluetooth capabilities so was really looking for a bluetooth GPS device.
I am looking for anyone who uses a GPS device and what type of device is used, what to look for and how much was spent.

Hi I've got a Garmin 305 which records heart rate and cadence. I'm not fully using it for training however the tools on the motionbased website where you can upload the information are really usefull. The Garmin uses a USB connection and I don't think it would be too compatible with a Pocket PC.

OP, do a search for Garmin on this forum and you will come up with quite a bit of opinions on the usefulness/reliability of GPS on bikes.

The Garmin 305 does a good job . . . with everything but heart rate. My heart rate monitor doesn't work worth a darn and Garmin doesn't have any replacements right now. Everything else about the 305 is great.
