Best GPS Devices for Running

garmin navigator, i think this new software is running very fast.

this is particularly frustrating when i'm running late for work, and the garmin gives me baseless hope.

i bought this due to the size and portability, i'm on the road every week and was running a mapping program on my computer.

i've now used for a week of commuting to work and running errands.

once the garmin is up and running, it's great.

in addition to the map, it displays speed limit information, route eta and icons for other running features.

even after running updates to the gps, it has not improved.

i managed to fix it by running a headphones cable (3.5mm rca) from nuvi to aux jack in the car.

after running through a set of alkaline batteries i switched to rechargeables, and they are working great.

garmin seems to be aware of the potential of utilizing this kind of community-based knowledge-- first, the unit can share waypoints, tracks and routes, as well as basic geocache information,

i downloaded the instruction manual after i ordered it and i had it up and running in no time at all.it has several great features besides showing you a detailed map of your exact location.

as an example, yesterday i had some extra time after running an errand and wanted to find a toyota dealer to look at a new car.

for example,if there are two roads that are in close proximity, running parallel (delaware ave & i-95, in philadelphia, pa) my garmin sees them as one road.

processor could be faster as unit has to "think" about stuff a little too much when running thru menus at times.

i opened the box and literally turned the unit on and it searched for satelites and a couple minutes later it was up and running.

i have been using a garmin gps for running for several years, forerunner 201 and 301.

i bought this because of how highly garmin is esteemed for navigation in the running world (i absolutely adore my garmin forerunner.) i wanted something with a big screen that would speak street

i did not like that you cannot enter in the address when the car is running though.
