Aye you can get navigation but they seem to have trouble with imported gpx apparently, something to do with waypoints or something, i dunno though after a bit of hunting i quickly got fed up and left it!

Think Davey had one on his trip of Iceland but on a tourer bike.

One complete answer, if they do an app for your phone: Cyclemeter. It is amazing, I have it for iPhone. For turbo training, this may be handy to know: Supports interval training Supports performance zones (with audio prompts) Rear wheel magnet and cadence support. App = £4, Topeak iPhone 5 compatible Bluetooth sensors £20ish, can't remember exactly. I love it. Great suggestion if they did it for the Samsung Galaxy, just checked and there is talk of one for the Galaxy4 in the future but nothing for my Galaxy2

You really should be putting cadence in the 'must have' features. Point noted, that's why I am asking the questions

Am I correct in thinking the wireless computers with the cadence sensor also measures the speed on the rear wheel?

You need to look for one that has a combined speed/cadence sensor - that will mount on the chainstay and read the rear wheel.

Mounts on the chainstay and reads both at the same time.

It may pick up radio too? Lols . I like it really, that 'aerial' is actually really practical. Because of the fat chain stay on the T3 I found it hard to mount the sensor in a way that both the speed mag and the cadence mag could both be picked up flawlessly. Took a little fiddling but I got there - something like that arm would have been quicker to set up I suspect.
