There's a thermometer in the unit but it's reasonably well damped so the readings don't change too quickly. I can always tell when I've been into a cafe though.

You can display the temperature, you just need to add it to one of the screens.

Good knowledge.

Temperature on mine seems to be fairly inacurate, and over reads by a number of degrees.

In terms of routing I think I prefer the tracks option as I'm not keen on the big waypoint flags and number it drops on the map obsuring the actual route. I prefer to see the route I'm following, if there was a way to make the flags smaller somehow that would be good.

Quite pleased with it now I've had a bit of time to play. Even managed to overlay a Swinley Forest trail map using google earth and upload to the device!
