I have been on some amazing roads in both cars and on bikes. Unfortunately, I usually just wander off and don't have a way to figure out where I have been or how to get back there again. I knew this was a problem I needed to solve to help me get back to places and to track my adventures.
What to get to solve this problem? I didn't know as there are quite a few options ranging in price drastically. Some require a subscription fee and others just require you buy the device. I sent an email to the riders alias at work and someone replied with a suggestion of a Garmin training watch. It did all I wanted and had no subscription fee.
Off I went to Amazon to find the right watch. I ended up with a Garmin Forerunner 310XT after one day. I love Prime and being in Amazon's backyard. If the stars align, the free 2 day shipping turns into next day as it did for my watch and made me a happy customer once again.
Below are the results of my commute today. Nothing special and no elaborate rides, I just wanted to track how it would perform. I did take a slight detour on the way home to see how it would track in the city but otherwise this is my daily drive.
