If that's all you want it for, why not borrow one. Seems to me a waste of money if it's just to confirm your speedo. IMO anyway, unless you have another specific purpose for it, like navigation or geocaching or whatever...
Scream, all about the toys...

I have to agree with Scream on this one, as usual!;)
If you're gonna pop for a gps, at least get one with a map on it. It'll come in handy, trust me....especially if you ever go to Powell, Mead, Mohave, etc. It helps us monitor fuel consumption as well.
GARMIN III+ or better is my recommendation!

good luck with it....you'll enjoy having the map. Try one of the big sporting goods stores like Sports Authority or costco. They both carry GPS

I love the way the "Big Boat Guys" assume everyone has a speedo in the dash! :rolleyes: :p
