I ordered it last night. It appears I'll have two solid weeks of training with it up here (Before I move). I'll let you know who it works.

Once you set your age, sex, etc... the rest is fairly easy. The date and time are set when you get your first satellite. You'll notice a large gap (.75 mile) in my route, that is due to me starting before I locked a satellite and it took a while to get one while moving.
