Just wondered the smallest, still decent, computer?

Ideally want to see:

- Speed
- Altitude
- Distance
- Incline

Thoughts and input appreciated

Earlier model Garmin Edge with the monochrome display...?

Monochrome = less power required = smaller battery = smaller case and lighter weight.

I have the Edge 305 and it's been very good.

Not sure any GPS can tell you incline in real time...?

Garmin Edge 200 or Bryton Rider 20 are the cheapest.

Change in altitude, over a fixed distance moved should do it.

My friends unit does it - think its a Garmin, though not sure which.

None of them really seems to do what I want - either too much or too little.

Guess I'm just fussy eek

Actually, I get your point if you were referring to incline in terms of angle, rather than gradient.

I should have said gradient.

Fair enough. I have to say I don't ride with a computer - I just ride according to how hard I feel like pushing.

My Forerunner 410 tells me the % on the road I'm riding.

However when I've looked at it the figures are rarely correct.
