I do. I like all the data points that it collects and the fact that it has a tach and run time counter. It does take a bit of time to familiarize oneself with which buttons to press to see things, but that learning is part of my "geek" enjoyment.

I really admire your 'complete geekiness'. I am nerd, with only a bit of geekiness. I seem to lack the perseverance and memory needed to understand and retain pertinent 'techno gadget' operation



Fortunately, my Spot rescue beacon requires only the touch of a single button once turned on. While using my gps (3), I generally look at the screen the device presents me with. If I get a screen the presents me with tide tables, I know I need to start pushing buttons. Once that button pushing stage is reached, I frequently get a screen that provides me a nicely detailed topographical region in another state. My latest push was to upgrade my 'communications system'. I worked to aquire an amateur radio license and purchased a very nice 'full featured' 2 meter radio. On every ride to the middle of no-where, I am still able to pickup and listen clearly so someone. Seems in 'Ham land' folks in the know frequently use "repeaters" to kick up the operating range of their sets. I have yet to master the technique required to connect with someone using a repeater. The use of my Vapor instrument panel is much the same. I have made 'cheat sheets' for all, but still, operation of my techno gadgets is labored and inefficient. My helmet is off to you Geeky folks.......... Gerry
