GPS units: need info.

[Jerry Kopp <jkopp@ohio.net>]

Before I add this to my Christmas list I would appreciate some information.
For those of you who have and/or currently use these when riding.  Will it
follow your progress through twisting trails like " breadcrumbs on a path"?
Or does it just give point to point info? When the description of a unit
states it can hold x number of " waypoints"  does the unit automatically
store these as you ride or do you manually have to press a button when the
trail changes direction?   I know previous discussions have stated you can
not use the unit as a speedometer but how is it  for accurately telling you
trip distance and average speed?  For those or you that have them, do you
find them useful and easy to use, if so which models?  Thanks in advance .
