How about a gps based one?

I've got the 260 which has been very good (it was a fair bit cheaper than it is now though)

Do you have any of the add-ons? I had never heard of them until I saw your post, but have had a look at the Pro, with the cadence/speed sensor. It looks very good value compared with other gps ones.

I am getting the Cateye Strada Wireless.

Cateye Velo 8, looks OK, easy to set up, 100% reliable.

I've got one of them... good, but cuts out in heavy rain.

if you have an android phone then just download endomondo and it dose everything for you and even maps your ride sign up to the free website for even more good stuff . Can't praise it enough

I also think you can purchase a bluetooth HR monitor to give the full package

I'm sure that all the people who cycled to Wootton Bassett with me yesterday would agree when I say don't get a garmin 605. Wrong directions all the time

I've just bought a Bell 20 Function wired. Very cheap with ave speed, max speed, temp, distance travelled, etc. So far so good.

I have Cateye Strada Cadence on various bikes of mine and my children.

They may not make that one any more, but they are simple, seem tough and they do what it says on the tin.

They tell me all I need to know and nothing I don't want to know.

No. The mapping is pretty accurate but basic eg. only a breadcrumb trail for following a route. But I looked at it as a speed computer with gps functions, not as a garmin rival.

It is a good app and I used google maps a fair bit before getting the Holux. BUT it has been raining heavily every time I've been out for 2 days and while the phone will map inside a pocket/bag whatever I can't actually look at it there conveniently while riding.

The phone is great for route finding and a map when I get (frequently) a bit lost but it and the Holux are different animals. I like both of them.
