if i made a downhill run, when stops, say the max speed?

Yes, it wii indicate the max speed as long as you reset the Garmin data to clear the previous data.

It will measure your horizontal speed, yes it will tell you your maximum speed

There are incline and speed change buttons located in the center by the green "quick-start" and red "stop" button. The incline goes up in .5 increments up to 15. Speed can go up to 12. Speed goes up pretty quickly, yet I find it take a little bit more time for it to slow down. The incline and decline work well, very smooth and gradual.

There is a dial on the side, you can turn the speed up or down but not off.

You can have it show speed (mph) instead of pace (min/lap distance). There's an option in the setup menu.

I only used it once. It showed the speed on a graph that fluctuated from the middle of the graph to near the bottom, slowest. It even stopped a couple of times.

Yes it does. "It also provides a "Curve Warning" response whenever you are .2 of mile from a serious curve. I find this vary useful when driving new roads. Every time the speed limit changes if you are more than 5 mph over the new limit you will get a audio "Speed Warning" as well as anytime you drift to 5 mph above the posted limit.

Sorry I can't help. this was a gift for an out of state friend, I was not given the details of how it records. He recently finished a 100 mile mountain run, I THINK it would record in seconds, but that is just a guess.

Yes; it will also notify you if you go faster than that pace (which can be just as bad!).

Not sure I can measure it but you could jog alongside it when it is going top speed. You can increase and decrease the speed gradually and also go very slow.

As far as I know you can only go faster by turing the speed control knob all the way to the right. Hope that world for you.

Can I program the unit so that it will follow stops that I have designated along the way and also will I be able to modify the path to my liking?

I'd say both. I use it in HIGH mode when going downhill. and in LOW or MID otherwise.

Yes. After your run, save it by holding down the "save/stop" button. When the watch goes back to its main screen (time , date, location) hit mode until you see " run data," select the day/file hit "ok/view" 3 times and the calories are the bottom number below your average speed.

not sure. although it merrily tracked me doing over 40mph last week on my road bike :-)

Press and hold (at the same time) + on the speed adjustment bar on the right, and the stop button (press '+' and 'stop'), and hold for 7-8 seconds. It should go immediately into "select workout".

Yes. That's called "split timing". You can stop and start infinite times for a cumulative total or you can have "splits", timing two laps (or rounds or...) concurrently. For example, I swam two lengths if the pool in :01:37 and my coach hit SPLIT at the end if the first length. When I got out of the pool, I could see that my first length was 45 seconds and my second was 52, for a total of :01:37. Does that help?

No trouble at all. I've used this many times at that speed for long distances and had no issues. Haven't gone past 85 though.
