Very good product

By Ranked #72 - Trail Running Accessories August 19, 2008

This is a very good product. I started using a Forerunner 301 a couple of years ago and it worked really well. If you run/bike on trails, in the city (tall buildings), or any area with limited visiblity to the open sky, you might have problems keeping a satellite link. If you need GPS training aid with a heart rate monitor and can scratch another $80 together I'd recommend going with a Garmin Forerunner 305. The 305 was updated with a better/stronger antenna which allows it to keep better satellite links. If you don't need a heart rate monitor take a look at the Garmin Forerunner 205. The 205 is equal to the 305 without the heart rate monitor. The 205 is also cheaper than the 301 or 305. Bottom line, the 301 is older technology with fewer functions than the 305/205 but it is still a comparable piece of equipment.
