Hello Angie,
I don't know if you are having "information overload" yet but let me 
add some more to it >:-}.
Most GPS units will continue to add mileage to the odometer even when 
the signal is lost. The unit uses the last bearing and speed and 
keeps projecting it until the signal comes back.If you are riding 
under a lot of trees or next to buildings or in a deep canyon and 
change direction while the GPS has no signal then when you get in the 
clear the unit will get a real trackpoint which might be way off from 
the last "projected" trackpoint. That type of error can only be fixed 
with software and some practice reading the trackpoint info.
The Legend has its sensors in the top and works best in an upright 
position. The best way to carry it is in a pack up high on your back 
and just ignore it and ride. I use a small Camelback with a cellphone 
holster firmly attached to the outside up high to hold my GPS. Works 
great except for the few times old Dumbcouff has rammed me in the 
back with his nose and turned the unit off !@#$%!
