Thanks, everyone, for the varied responses! Patrick, what you are saying 
resonates deeply. I'm a lifelong map guy, and have not yet embraced the use 
of electronic devices in the field, apart from occasional consultation with 
Google Maps on the iphone. Partly because I am comfortable relying on maps 
and on my sense of place and direction. And I must admit to a reluctance to 
introducing another screen into my life, even one as small as a bike 
computer. Ahh, first world problems, right?
 
However, just last week, during a 5-day tour in Oregon, I had occasion to 
rely on a friend's odometer relating to some unsigned roads on a cue sheet, 
and it was mighty handy! And I hope to join my bro on some brevets next 
year, where there is a time element in play which counteracts the fun 
factor of getting lost.
 
Doug P has graciously offered to send me is older Cateye unit, so I think 
I'll start there.
 
Cheers,
 
Neil
