The S300's simple, easy-to-use interface consists of only two buttons and a small, monochrome LCD readout. On it, you can view your current, maximum and average speeds. Based on these measurements, the unit tracks distance, while a speed target zone setting alerts you with an audible alarm when your speed drops below a pre-set level. Plus, you can use an automatic timer to keep track of your workout session times. And of course, the S300 tells the time and date (using a super-accurate GPS-based atomic clock!).
The unit features changeable faceplates so you can dress it up to suite your style. Its diminutive size (79 x 78 x 27 millimeters) and weight (120 grams) means it is easy to wear with the included armband. Battery life via a single AA battery is rated at up to 16 hours and there is a handy battery life indicator on the LCD screen. The S300's rubberized, water-resistant case is ready for adverse conditions.

We been using this GPS unit to measure our horse rides. The display is a bit difficult to read while riding. The documentation clarifies very little and is not in depth at all. Scrolling through the various modes can be tedious. It does keep track of avg speed and max speed. We've yet to figure out how to easily start a new lap.
They could do a lot more to make the interface and documentation more user friendly.

If you get a well-made unit, it's alright.,

This review is from: Navman R300 Water Resistant Sport GPS (Electronics)
These things aren't inexpensive, especially for a college student, but I run a lot and wanted something to help chart my progress. The first thing I noticed was the poor reception. It takes about 5-6 minutes of clear skies to sync with your local satellites, but that isn't as much of a hassle as it might seem. Just turn on the unit when you leave the house, do your stretches outside, and it should be ready by the time you are.
The other issue is that it loses the signal often; if you live in an area with tall buildings, mountains, wooded areas, telephone poles, or flocks of geese flying overhead, you can expect to hear the "Sync Lost" beep at least a few times whenever you go out. This isn't a huge issue unless you're running around the block in an urban area as the device is smart enough to "connect the dots" between where you were when it lost the signal and where you are when it regains the signal. If you're running in more or less a straight line the results will come out within 10% of true distance. If you're the type of person who cares whether you've gone 8 miles in the last hour or 9, invest in a map. Despite the signal issues, I would have given the unit 3 or even 4 stars. You can account for the syncing time by stretching outside, and you can adjust for the distance errors by adding 5-10% at the end of your run. The reason it gets two stars is that my LCD display started failing after about a month and less than 100 miles. It was still usable for another month or so (in that I could figure "Ok this is either a 6 or an 8, and I know I ran more than 6...), and then the display failed completely and the device became a GPS paperweight. I realize this is almost certainly a QC issue and you aren't likely to get a bum unit like I did, so it gets 2 stars instead of 1. It's useless to me, though. 2115|R1G8FBP9MV70VC;2115|R2TOZDRB8850QE;2115|RM2MMHAXJWA5K;
