I'll be getting one of those for my birthday in a week or so. Should be sweet to use not only for speedboarding speed data and stuff but also for unicycling/biking/hiking trip data, and even geocaching if I feel enclined to try it. 🙂
I got the 'E-Trex Vista CX' (http://www.garmin.com/products/etrexVistacx/) because I wanted mapping and the barometric altimeter. The CX also takes micro SD cards so you load gobs of maps or have map sets on multiple cards.
I either clip it to the shoulder strap or put it in the top pocket of my hydration pack. For skiing I put it in my front upper pocket. If it's not in a pocket, be sure to have the lanyard secured to something in case it comes unclipped.

You just stick that guitar in the closet next to your shortwave radio, your karate outfit and your unicycle and we'll go inside and watch TV.” – Homer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ UniBrier's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/1404 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/53645
