does it, show altitude

I use my eTrex for sailing, and so I am not attuned to altitude; nonetheless, I don't recall seeing altitude figures on it. Sorry.

Dont know how it will show what he is doing but it will tell you where he is, direction and how many yards away

It does track elevation, but you can only see it after uploading to Garmin Connect (it doesn't show on the display while you're exercising). Not sure if you can export to RunKeeper.

No it does not display altitude. This device measures your speed, heartrate, and cadence (rate at which you are spinning the pedals). That's all. It does not have any GPS or the like.

Nope. It gives a very brief view. Press left top and left bottom buttons at the same time. It's a battery drainer.

Display is configurable and can show current pace or speed. How accurate the instantaneous pace/speed information is depends on the quality of the satellite link, so not as good in trees or blocked areas. Works well overall.

Sorry. Got mixed up. Yes. There is altitude display. It works off barometric pressure.

You can also view "Elevation" by clicking on the car icon, on your Map: That click will bring up a window with several items of info, one of which is Elevation.

Speed is not recorded, only coordinates and time. The software used on your computer calculates speed and displays it on a separate chart with altitude.

I believe this model can show altitude but you will have to refer to the start up guide that comes with the unit to download the manual. The unit is very easy to operate. You should not have any problem learning the functions since you have owned a Garmin.

Yes, you can display Elevation as an alternate to displaying Time of Day or Direction in the lower right hand corner of the main view.You can also get Elevation by touching the speed display (from the main view) which opens up a sort of trip computer.

This does not show your absolute altitude but rather your relative altitude, starting from zero. At any point you read it it displays your relative altitude, plus or minus, from where you started. It also shows you the max. relative altitude that it measured.

We used the altimeter on a water rocket and it was very accurate for altitude but it landed on a level field so there wasn't data for if it had dropped lower than it's launch height.

Do either of these units have a useful elevation feature. We drive in mountains often and like knowing current altitude (elevation). Thank you

Yes it display the miles left to go plus it will give you the ETA to the destination.

Yes, it has multiple modes - the Realtime mode displays current altitude Which is why other answers seem contradictory - battery has multi-hour life before recharging

I don't bike, but it has a icon for routes and tracks. It does elevations, if that's what you mean?
