I also love my GPS... I have a GPS 10 (bluetooth)... problem is that battery life isn't that great on the Axim with an 1100 battery.. better to use the AC adapter... I guess on a bicycle you better have a couple 2200 batteries around. At least on my motorcycle I have an ac plug like my car :)

The awesome thing about my GPS 10 (and maybe others as well) is that it will tell me the EXACT time I will be arriving at my destination. It is so amazing how it works and is so accurate! I guess it calculates where you are located and knows all of the speed limits on route to your destination. However, the destination time will change slightly depending on if a light lasts longer than it should, excessive traffic, or not driving around the speed limit and maybe other factors... otherwise it is so close to the time of when you actually arrive that it is so scary! (whether you are walking, biking, or driving!) So I love bringing it EVERYWHERE, even to places I've gone to before just to see how long it takes... pretty amazing!
