(I did this a couple of times with blackberry phones, don't know specifically for your gps unit though...) | |

Then you could plug it into your computer (looks like it has USB) to view your trip information afterwards. It probably uses standard format that can be imported into Strava, MapMyRide, or Google Earth. It probably wouldn't be much use while riding without the screen, and you'd risk missing out on the recording if you pushed the wrong key sequence. | |
