So other than the bit I've left in the quote above, it's just a trip counter? Like the one already fitted to the bike?

Do you never ride *anywhere* without mounting the Garmin on the bike and turning it on? Because surely if you just pop down the shops without it it's then wrong for that tankful?


Not trying to be confrontational here (well, not much ), or bring the topic onto the merits or otherwise of having a SatNav (unlike Darren ), but I'm struggling to see what it actually brings to the party (apart from telling you where the nearest filling station probably is).
