I’m surprised someone didn’t come up with this amazing gadget earlier. It has changed the way I go running, walking and cycling. I always want to know how far I’ve gone when I’ve been working out but, when you’re not in the gym it’s really hard to figure it out.
You are so spoilt in the gym when you have all the gadgets in front of you laid out easily so you can see exactly how far you’ve gone, the calories you’ve burnt and how much time you’ve been going for. Trying to work this out when you’re out running in the real world is a nightmare. Google maps in theory would be a great help but it tends to only measure distances as if you were a car and has a bit of a fit if you try and guide it across the middle of a field.
This is where the Garmin Forerunner 305 GPS fits into your life perfectly. It uses GPS to position exactly where you are and measure how far you travel. Genius! It has all the other gagety bits and features you’d expect from a sports calculator like this but the GPS system is like something else.
