"We have the Garmin Forerunner 201 and a 101. We use both daily - for running and biking - and snow skiing/boarding in the winter.

"I tried the Forerunner 201 on all kinds of roads and trails, and it never tracked more than 15% of the total run. You quickly find yourself distracted from the run, worrying too much about the lack of signal. I since bought the 305, which is much better...." Read Full Review »

"I run with this GPS 3 to 4 times a week and have used it in runs as long as 26.2 miles. I am very happy with its performance. It does take a few minutes to aquire satellites; I turn on the unit while I get ready for my run then strap it on my wrist on the way out the door. I live in a rural area so …" Read Full Review »
