Re: [RC] GPS - Garmin Forerunner 201 VS Timex Bodylink - Kristen A Fisher
One of the great things about the Forerunner is
that it is one piece, not 2. Very helpful, esp. once you add a HRM to your arm,
etc.
Even in clear open skies the GPS has its
limitations; sometimes because of the ways trails double back it can read short.
The good ting is, you get to the VC before you think you will!
Subject: [RC] GPS - Garmin Forerunner 201
VS Timex Bodylink
I was going to order the Forerunner today
and in checking for a best price came across a C-NET review which indicated if
you're using it under the trees, you won't get accurate results and the Timex
Ironman Triathlon Bodylink was recommended instead. Does anyone use the
Timex? I found it for $175 (speed & distance only model), quite a bit more
than the forerunner, but if it will work under the trees, then it may be worth
the price. Let me know what you think. The family's getting it for my birthday
which is coming right up. Of course, my hubby & son plan on sharing it for
the biking as well.(:>)
