Spotty Coverage
Reviewer: Anonymous , Jacksonville, FL

Perhaps it is where I live in Jacksonville FL but the GPS pod takes a few minutes to begin tracking and then it is well off of what I am running. I used a foot pod which gave a very different and much more accurate read of distance and speed. Perhaps with better coverage the GPS Pod would be a better match?
Comments from The Staff:
Thanks for your review. The GPS POD can take a few moments to lock on to satellites, as you have seen. If you plan on running through heavily wooded areas, urban areas with tall buildings, etc., give it a few moments more to lock on to as many satellites as possible, or use the Foot POD for these runs; ANY GPS may encounter tracking issues in these types of environments. Thanks again for your feedback.

Easy to set up,first time out must of hit the wrong button, but after that it was a breeze. Checked distance aginst another gps unit and it was dead on speed and distance, starts off a little slow ,but doesn't effect over all distance. Occasional pair divice for accuracy,and always wear up high on shoulder for good coverage.
