Your Personal Trip Computer

Bring your GPS with you when you go for a hike/bike/paddle and it can record how far you have traveled, how much actvity time you had, your average speed or much more. The Trip Computer (or whatever it is called in each type of GPS) can record any of the following that you choose:

Field	Description
Accuracy of GPS	Your estimated position error (EPE)
Battery Level	Battery charge, in 20% increments
Bearing	Direction, in degrees, to the next waypoint
Cadence	Revolutions of the crank arm per minute (for bicyclists using the cadence accessory)
Course	Direction from the last waypoint to the next waypoint
Depth	Depth of water (requires NMEA input from a sonar device)
Distance to Destination	Distance to final destination
Distance to Next	Distance to the next waypoint or turn
Elevation	Elevation above sea level
ETA at Destination	Estimated time of arrival at final destination
ETA at Next	Estimated time of arrival at next waypoint or turn
Glide Ratio	Ratio of horizontal distance traveled to vertical distance traveled
Glide Ratio to Dest	Glide ratio required to descend from your current position and elevation to the position and elevation of your final destination
GPS Signal Strength	Strength of satellite lock, in 20% increments
Heading	Direction you are currently heading
Heart Rate	Heart rate in beats per minute (using the heart rate monitor accessory)
Location (lat/lon)	Location in ddd mm.mmm format
Location (selected)	Location in format set in Setup > Position Format
Odometer	Total distance traveled for all trips
Off Course	Distance to your desired course (use To Course for direction)
Pointer	Arrow indicating direction to travel to the next waypoint or turn
Speed	Current speed
Speed – Maximum	Maximum speed traveled since last reset
Speed – Moving Avg.	Average speed, not including time stopped, since last reset
Speed – Overall Avg.	Average speed, including time stopped, since last reset
Sunrise	Time of today's sunrise at your current position
Sunset	Time of today's sunset at your current position
Temperature – Water	Water temperature (requires external data acquisition device)
Time of Day	Time at your current position
Time to Destination	Estimated elapsed time until you reach your final destination
Time to Next	Estimated elapsed time until you reach your next waypoint or turn
To Course	Direction to your planned course (use Off Course for distance)
Trip Odometer	Distance since last reset
Trip Time – Moving	Time in motion since last reset
Trip Time – Stopped	Time stopped since last reset
Trip Time – Total	Total time since last reset
Turn	The difference in degrees between the bearing to your destination and your current heading. "L" means turn left; "R" means turn right.
Velocity Made Good	Rate of closure to your destination, based on current speed and course
Vertical Speed	Current rate of ascent or descent
Vertical Speed To Dest	Rate of ascent or descent to your final destination
Waypoint at Dest	Name of final destination waypoint
Waypoint at Next	Name of next destination on the current route
