The functionality especially for hiking would be great. It would be nice to compare the paces side by side to see how much your rest stops are slowing you down. You could use the paces to figure out what your expected time is to cover certain terrain. Also include total time for descending and ascending. I don't understand why this data is not already available from garmin? Technically the data could be used to give you an estimate of your expected hike time for a course based off your recent hikes.
