Do you need to keep track of the grade? It seems your heart rate monitor does that too.

Rather, your body gives out a reading of the grade

I do love your style - but I am a data geek/nerd myself.

SmilingCat has a good question - so you don't have to map both of them to know what the other is doing

Which computer do you use in order to be able to create such a graph?

Garmin 705, and the screen grab is from Training Center for Windows. I'm a Mac gal through and through, but I run both versions of Training Center, because each is slightly different (although really I wouldn't boot up Windows at all if I weren't running SportTracks over there - beautiful application).

That's how much of a data geek I am.

Now if only I made better use of it all in my training.

Another good reason for a 705 This is next to save up for once I get fenders and a rear rack on The Wanderer. I suspect that it would be best to just get it in time for next spring rather than the fall.

Anyway I think the graph is cool - those were some strong hills you were on!

Not to disappoint your gadget lust, but you'd get the same data from a 500 or 305. The extra $ for the 705 is all for the mapping.

The mapping is mainly what I want it for - but thanks for the confirmation.

My Polar CS400 also plots altitude. It's amusing to see my heartrate mirror the undulations.
