Sent too soon! I meant to add: One of the great things about the Elemnt is that you set it up and configure it with your phone, and the app is actually quite good. You can make it show a whole bunch of data, or only one or two things.
So, Lum, you could set it up to show only the stuff you're looking for and not show speed. Nice!
