[RC] Combined GPS and equine HRM - Susan FavroPolar finally has a new
model, the RS800 HRM, that will have an added GPS accessory to track speed and
distance. While I've not yet had a chance to get my hands on the GPS accessory,
I have played with the RS800 HRM and it's pretty cool. Instead of having the
electrodes with a wire running to the transmitter, the RS800 uses a heart girth
strap with the electrodes woven into the fabric of the strap. The transmitter
snaps into the girth strap. It's a neat and clean approach. I have an ad in the
October issue of Endurance News that gives more detail or you can visit our Web
site (www.healthyasahorse.net)
and find the RS800 on the "New Products" page. I'm hoping to get one of the
GPS accessories next week and will post more info then. Several of the things I
really like about the Polar are that their equine HRMs are specifically designed
for use on equines, their products carry a two year warranty, and Polar is
the leader in the HRM market.
