What data fields do you show on your GPS/computer?

I've had mine set to show time of day, time, distance, and speed, but I just ordered a cadence sensor, so I'll definitely want to add cadence. Also would like to add grade. Only have max of four on mine, and it's a tough decision to make. I guess I can get rid of time of day, but I'd like to see the rest. It would be nice if you could push a button to view a second set of four, but it doesn't seem like that's an option.

I'm curious as to what all of you think is important enough to have at hand all the time.

Oh, but you do have that option!

I have a Garmin 305. It rotates through 3 screens-

one has just altitude and grade.
The others have 4 readings on each screen.

I don't remember the exact arrangement on the rest, but during the rotation i see:

speed
average speed
distance
heart rate
cadence
how long I've ridden
and I forgot the other two

My DH set it up - I could ask him how to do it.

Each screen is actually customizable with 2 - 4 data points. I have one screen that only shows three with speed largest, distance and time smaller.

My computer will scroll if I set it right, but since it's really easy to reset if I push the wrong button, I just let it sit on the odometer (since I don't mind doing a little mental math) and current speed. I wear a watch while I ride, so I don't need the time.
