  not bad, I picked up one without the HRM (but with the cadence sensor) for $190 on ebay last year (now for $185 or less). I can't find a garmin HRM for $35 so it's a pretty good bundle.

  I have a few problems with this device though. It likes to turn itself off if it loses GPS reception and sometimes it doesn't record an entire chunk of a trip. Otherwise the dates screw up and ends up being like the year 2034 or something like that. I believe it recordes the positions when turned on into the GPX file, so you can manually browse the them and upload that instead.

  Also if you're mainly a cyclist and do the occasional run, you can get a garmin quick release kit and use this to track your run. Much better than carrying a phone.

    good review,

    my mate has one and its a neat bit of trickery ;)

    Currently using starva/roadbike app on my bike and its great, but a 100km ride will empty the battery by the end.

    So might get this after pay day if its still this well priced.
