- Unreliable. Frustrating to use
I bought this and put it to use on an 8 mile run 4 days after it arrived. It catches on to the satellite but have constant trouble hanging on to the signal as I run. As a result the readings on the T3 fades in and out. It is a very frustrating experience. I had thought of using this to compare against the foot pod, however T3 only allows the use of one (either the foot pod or GPS pod) at a time. Though the foot pod requires frequent calibration it is atleast consistent. I returned the product. I ... Read More
Rating: - Unreliable GPS
I purchaced the Suunto T4 and added the GPS to track speed and distance.My wife uses the Garmin 205 and the GPS reception on the Garmin is far superior.Suunto GPS takes along time to initially find a satellite.Once you have a signal it drops it throughout your run.I run in a rural area and still have bad reception.I used the garmin 205 for a couple years and it had very reliable reception.I am considering the foot pod due to the GPS problems.

- Excellent tool with a T6
Have had my T6 for nearly 3 years with bike, shoe and now GPS pods.Have had GPS pod over a year and use it across several sports-- road and MT biking, running, adventure racing, and kayaking.Perfect tool for Ironmans, ARs, ultra-distance events--Does everything I need it to do very well and unlike the other pods requires no calibration.Exceptional overall accuracy but for slower sports the momentary speed numbers may not always stay stable due to GPS inherent positional errors- not a Suunto ...

- Perfect
This pod plus a T6 replaced my annoyingly unreliable Garmin Edge 305, and I could not be happier.The GPS has worked flawlessly.I use it for road biking and trail running.It finds satellites fast and holds reception even under fairly heavy tree and cloud cover.I use the arm strap for running and it's very comfortable.On my bike I just throw it in a pocket in my handlebar bag and I'm good to go.The battery life is longer than advertised.I wanted to check the accuracy, so I ran several laps ...

- Upright
The unit worked very well as long as it was position so that it faced upright to the sky at all times. If I had chosen to mount it on my bike rack, it would have been a good tool. However, I could not get it to stay facing upright enough while walking or running to maintain contact with the satellite, and so I kept losing the signal and needed to stop and reposition the unit.
