Chirp: the POI that talks back!

I ordered 2 more Chirps.

I'm going on a trip with my son to the Pike's Peak Hill Climb this weekend and will get to talk to him about possibilities. He is a data systems guy for an oil field safety firm and has lots of experience with impractical GPS usage. We might test them there.

Origionally, I though to set the two I got in the Grand Canyon. One near the top of the south rim trail and one at the bottom or as far as I could hike in safety.

A contest to record the time for the decent and ascent that are nearest the average of all recorded trips, with a prize seems like a good idea. I wonder if there are rental Garmins at the south rim?

Righteous rules about commercializing our National Parks find much favor from me. Though overall the Grand Canyon is a big cash register for big money folk.

One big problem with my plan is the delay. No instant gratification.
