It will change automatically. after you reach like 1000 feet it will automatically change to miles.

I have not been able to find anywhere that you can adjust the distance on mine

I'm not sureof the answer but I for sure want to test it to be sure of distance. I tested it. It seemed to work ok. There is a date on it when u get it.

Excellent. That means that your computer has worked for the distance you choosed for maintenance when you set it up (at least 200 km). Mine only worked for 40 km.

I have mine on a 56cm road bike. As to the maximum distance, I don't know. My transmitter is located on the rear wheel with the computer on the handle bar. It works perfect. I have held the unit at least 4' away and it still recorded. Don't forget that this is digital and not a analog. Hope this helps.

What computer is it? Mine worked fine and actually installs the garmin software. Are you administrator on your PC? You might also try and instal the garmin software first. Download it from the garmin website. Good luck.

Yes it is. It's pretty simple to set up on the bike, just figure out placement and use the supplied zip ties to mount it. You hold down the left button to clear the current data and use the right button to flip through the different options. While riding I like to see my speed and distance, your speed is the large Zero in the picture. The bottom row of numbers switch between distance and time. I'm sure there are other options but I honestly didn't even pull out the instructions. Just mounted it and started riding :-)

You can set the speed manually, or use one of the automated programs. I always adjust the speed manually. The increments are 0.1 mph.

I have found this untrue. The map screen will only display estimated time of arrival. You must go to the trip computer to see the miles to distance.Garmin get with the program. You give us 10+ foreign accents but can't give us what we all want to know (Miles to Destination.)

You can go to one of the points, mark it as a waypoint and record the elevation. At this time I get rid of all tracks that are not needed because they may confuse things. Then go, not necessarily in a straight line, to the other point, mark it as a waypoint and record the elevation. Zero your trip odometer. Then, click "Where To" and select your first waypoint. Your Trip Computer screen should show distance to destination, and the map screen should have a track that runs right to it. I have not found a way to view the elevation difference directly, because I have never had a need for that. I hope that answers your question. There may be a better procedure, but that has worked for me.

I have mine setup to KM but I think it will be the same for Miles. It has a total of 5 digits on the screen. On my last workout I did 25.403 KM the total odometer since I reset it is at 250.03 KM. I think it goes to 2 digits after 100. Hope it helps.

I do not believe this is an option. I suggest contacting Garmin customer service, they're very helpful. 800-800-1020

No, it's not true. First set the unit to go to a destination. Then the lower left dashboard field will show 'Arrive In x miles' . If it doesn't tap the dashboard field and select 'Distance' from the options. Also if you tap the blue Instruction Bar at the top of the screen (after setting a go to) the Total time and ETA are shown.

Thanks for the help. I've set the tracking to "auto least often" and that seems to nail the distance pretty well. Did a measured 2.6 mile hike out and back through some fairly heavy cover and got 2.63 one way and 2.65 the other. Close enough. Funny though, Garmin "admitted" this was an accuracy problem. Told me the fix was downloadable on their site, with the Web Updater, but I've decided not to mess with it. Don't want their gremlins crawling around inside unless I have no choice.

It can be set for both. Mine came set to miles, do I didn't change it. The directions for the meter were the only thing I had a problem with. The bike itself is great and was easy to assemble.
