I’m going to be doing some camping this summer and picked up a Casio Pathfinder 1300G from Amazon.  The 1300G came with two straps and I can easily put on a Zulu or Nato band.  The watch is full of features.  It is solar powered and syncs to the atomic clock (in Ft. Collins as well as four others around the world) every night automically.  The other reason I purchased it is that it has a built in barometer, temperature, altitude, and a compass.  Add to those features five alarms, a stopwatch, and a countdown timer.  It also has a light.

The watch is by far the most technologically advanced quartz piece I have in my collection.  I suspect it will get a lot of wrist time on trips and weekends.

I’ve spent a lot of time on the road (for me) over the last few weeks and it occured to me that someone needs to create a GPS that has an integrated radar detector and internet capabilities so that it could report to a central system potential speed traps.

No tickets were issued and I wasn’t pulled over to inspire the idea.
