Another newbie question, but I find this to be faster than contacting
support, damn 30 min. wait!

Anyway love the trip computer functionality on this unit, but have a
few questions:

Can this feature be stopped and started without turning the unit off?
Can trips be saved (trip computer portion)?
Can these stats be uploaded to your PC and exported to other programs?

Mmm, I guess you could go to the satellite screen and turn off the
GPS.

Yes to both. In terms of the stats, I like TopoFusion, which I wrote
about at http://gpstracklog.typepad.com/gps_...aps_and_ae.html

The Logbook function maintains a record of your stats.

Thanks, I'll try some of you suggestions. I also called support
earlier today and stated how I think some of this functionallity
should be in there, maybe they'll listen.
