Does the map show bike routes/paths? Can you get the altitude from the satellite?

Yes. There is a path near my house that's shown. It is also very good with altitude. This past fall I climbed the two highest peaks in CONUS (Mt Whitney and Elbert). Mt Whitney is officially 14,505 and I checked the pic I took and my GPS had it at 14,506.

I really doubt it, although I don't know; however, I live in Farmington, NM and couldn't even screen navigate/scroll to Albuquerque...I consider the device not worthy of one star! That is why I returned it and got a Garmin Montana which is a fantastic tool!

Yes we have used it on wilderness biking routes. The Magellan has a better algorithm for showing altitude than the Garmin and is generally pretty accurate.

I returned my explorist 710, the track time and date was always incorrect. I bought a Garmin Oregon, which I love. I use it to track my rides and hikes. I believe you can download maps, but I haven't. The altitude is extremely accurate.

I don't bike, but it has a icon for routes and tracks. It does elevations, if that's what you mean?

You can download GPX files of routes for hiking and biking. Also some maps that you can purchase have these routes printed on them. Yes the GPS does show your elevation very accurately. I have compared it to the elevation markers at the top of hikes and it is within a few feet.

you do get altitude, but remember from my review that if you break the screen they will only give you a refurbished unit at a cost to you of $450 almost the cost of a new one. they are NOT willing to stand behind there product!!!! don't waste your money as the screen is weak and will break!

No this unit does no show the grades of Mountain passes - i have not see a GPS that does that - what this does show is your altitude

Yes. I actually don't own one, I had this for my boyfriend. However I know that if you check the course file or the history file, you get all coordinates of your run/bike.. wherever you use the watch. I had tried to post my python code for creating Google Earth .kml files from course files or history files here, so that one can view his run/bike/track on google earth. However the limitation of indents on this board doesn't work for python.

I have not tried it on a bike of any kind and ask my colleagues who have one and they havn't either. It is not GPS oriented, for that you might want the app "map my walk" which also does bikes/stairs etc."

Mine does not show trails. Right out of the box it doesn't even show country roads. It only had the US geology map whatyacallit thing. I had to buy the US maps add in. Now once you ride a route you can save it as a course and repeat it. It still show ou traveling out in the middle of white space between known roads.

Thanks BAN. Yeah I'm a hobbyist when it comes to cycling, so I'm sure the GPS will be able to pick me up on the roads . I know there are apps and such for Android / iPhone that do similar things, but I think this looks like a nice unit.

If you go to the garmin website you may find the answer there. Sorry I am not able to help.

Yes, it has "slope" data that shows steepness of current path (positive indicates uphill,negative indicates downhill). Here is the link of the user manual where he could check all the features of the device http://assets.timex.com/user_guides/W280_CycleTrainer/W280_CycleTrainer_NA_EN.pdf PS Im very happy with it, it works very well

No, it does not give you directions. However it will show a map where it was last located.

If your referring to the navigation function it works on both presuming you have downloaded the waypoints. I use on both my mountain and road bike and mountain bike and it works great.

You should check directly with Garmin. I think there is a very rudamentry map which is not of much use on its own. The package may include a card with a preloaded map or disc such as N. America

I believe that if you touch the displayed name of the next destination at the top of the screen, the entire route remaining will show up on the screen that opens. The first item listed is the remaining distance and time to it. If I'm right, touch each item along the route to get a look at the configuration of that intersection. The remaining route may display on several succeeding screens, depending on the length of the route. I have the Garmin 2455LMT.

I don't know, but regardless, it is far inferior to Google maps. Streets and trips is a complete waste of money.

Sort of. It works for tracking and elevation. However it doesn't come with any topographic or trail maps. You will need to load maps if you intend to use them, which you probably do. There are free maps available to download online. I think the best site is GPS File Depot.

No. It's difficult to see it on daylight. Anyhow as the route to take is orange in color, you can see where you need to go while riding Overall I consider it very important piece of equipment to ride and for sure excellent cost- benefit device. I can't afford and I consider ridiculous the price of a Garmin Zumo, which doesn't guarantee clear reading neither.

Do you mean gps? There's an option to export the data from the garmin connect page.

My phone does not have GPS on it. When I take a photo for instance, it shows where the photo was taken, but after typing in the coordinates, Google map shows a satellite image of the cell tower my phone is linked with at the time the photo was taken.
