Hi Don, thanks -very much- for your "soul" reply
to my question, which provides all with a de facto demonstration of my total ineptness as regards the concept "trip computer". I never realized the data shown on the screen of your "father and son trip" thread/website were from a hand-held GPS! Which leads me to examine the market for those thingies...
OK guys: next question (as good as a "bump"!) what are the best hand-held GPS models? (are they usually convertible from miles to kilometers? do they work worldwide?). Obviously I'd be interested only in a "European" mapped version, but I guess the brands aren't only focused on the USA (or are they?).
BTW, Don, good for you having had a good time in Brussels - to me, the grass always seems fresher elsewhere!!!
