Im Gonna jump in and hijack this thread IIMBSB (my apologies Wheres-My-Beard?). But since some of of you know about the Edge 200 I thought it the place to ask some silly questions regarding screen icons on the device (there is bugger all in the manual). When riding a course what does the shaded sort of arrow in the left of the screen mean/do? And the number at the top of the screen (usually when I glance down at it it says 300) what does that represent? Other than that I have found the gadget to be great so far.
The arrow is indeed a compass. The number (300) is the amount of zoom out from the course. ie it's at 300ft.
