Rusty,
It is an interesting way of ambling about if you are not that fussed about time.A couple of touches in the settings and it is back to normal turn by turn , I used it today for an amble out but set it back to normal for the ride home
Mick,
Ta for that, I will keep an eye on that, I would like to say it won't get wet, but that WILL happen , it's summer
The lanyard sounds good.The link was for the XT2, but I found the same for the XT and ordered it
Another amble out today, found some lovely back roads using the Straight line function on the XT.
Found a hand pump Built in 1888 ,by the plaque, some swans on the river and a Helmet hedge, glad I can go in full amble/explore mode now .I wouldn't have come this way otherwise.It is handy for time on the bike if not miles done, and due to the relaxed pace on the VERY minor roads 67mpg is nice too.
Also,
Due to where I have the XT mounted , lined up with the dash on the bars,the counter steer effect is visible, long corner to the left, bars to the right, I knew this happened ...but never SAW it .
Ho Hum
