Waa-Hoo!!... .. this is it.. cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350181856199QQssPageNameZMERC_VIC_RCRX_Pr4_PcY_BIN_Stores_IT&refitem=150333625205&itemcount=4&refwidgetloc=closed_view_item&usedrule1=CrossSell_LogicX&refwidgettype=cross_promot_widget&_trksid=p284.m183&_trkparms=algo%3DCRX%26its%3DS%252BI%252BSS%26itu%3DISS%252BUCI%252BSI%26otn%3D4

I bought myself a GPS watch that I can take on our down-winders and after blue tooth the info to my computer so I can see on Google earth where I went.. How far.. How fast.. etc.

I'll let you know how it goes.

Ever seen that show on TV Beauty and the Geek?

I think the beauty was wearing one of those.

Got my Dick Tracy watch the other day...It's as ugly as hell but it should give some good down-winding info..and also good for testing different board speeds.

I've just got to work out how to use it... Jeeeez it's complicated..

Gosh I think I had one of those when I was a kid. It transforms into a robot right?

Looks the goods DJ but gee its a massive unit! Do you think you'll try wearing it or strap it to your pack? Any info on battery life?

Andrew.. it's shower proof but I wouldn't risk swimming with it.

I plan to carry it in a small waterproof bag just to be safe.

Christian.. I think it's about 8 hrs depending on if bluetooth is on or not.
