I bought this unit to track how far I travel while walking. The

first unit received had bad segments in the LCD. Amazon

quickly sent another unit that did appear to work.

This unit takes a long time to find sattelites. Several times

it never found ANY, under clear blue sky. It just turned off

after 10 minutes. It would lose signal frequently.

The deal breaker is that when it loses sattelites, it will not account

for distance during the lost signal. Lets say you are walking/running, and the unit is logging distance. For a 10th of a mile, it loses

sattelite. When it gets sattelite back, it starts logging

again from the new point. But it does NOT add the distance

you traveled while the signal was missing. As if I teleported

to the new location. Useless.

Well, it was good for about 5 weeks after that it just died. No battery replacement would bring this baby back to life. At least I got to keep the arm band.

Save your money.

SAVE YOUR MONEY!!!! Mine worked ok first few times then wouldn't display correctly; it would also turn off on its own. Just not worth your money. Only will give a lot of frustration.

This makes the 8th (eighth) Navman I have purchased in as many years. I buy them for my wife for her hobby,horseback riding. They only last a year so warranty does not help. Also trying to register them is so hard it's almost not worth it, They don't include a warranty card in their paperwork and the website is a dead end.Also no phone number to call to register. I wish I could find another product like it that she could use. If you have any suggestions please let me know.

I bought two, one for me and one for my girlfriend.

That was over five years ago. Mine just went bad. My (ex)gitlfriend bought a more expensive GPS and now is going to give me her W300 (thats what it was called then).

When it goes bad I will buy a more expensive GPS.

But over 5 years of constant use isn't bad.

I received this GPS as a gift. After the first few weeks, the display went bad and it no longer shows my speed or distance. Nothing works to change the display anymore. I would invest in something more worthwhile. It was a waste of good friends money!

The Navman R300 is a great low cost GPS.

It gives your current speed, current pace, average speed, distance travelled, calories burned, current altitude and so much more.

For the money you just can beat it. I use mine all the time. Thanks Navman
