Product Description

The Suunto GPS POD transmits speed and distance on any terrain, which makes it an ideal choice for bikers, runners, kayakers, and skiers alike. This small GPS unit replaces inaccurate pedometers and wirelessly transmits data to a t3, t4, or t6 watch to give you real-time speed and distance readings. When you're done with your run, plug your watch into your computer to transfer the data and track your training. Plus, since it's a GPS unit instead of pedometer, you don't have to wear it on your shoe.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent tool with a T6, January 11, 2008

This review is from: Suunto GPS POD (Sports)

Have had my T6 for nearly 3 years with bike, shoe and now GPS pods. Have had GPS pod over a year and use it across several sports-- road and MT biking, running, adventure racing, and kayaking. Perfect tool for Ironmans, ARs, ultra-distance events-- Does everything I need it to do very well and unlike the other pods requires no calibration. Exceptional overall accuracy but for slower sports the momentary speed numbers may not always stay stable due to GPS inherent positional errors- not a Suunto problem but a GPS satellite problem. If you watch for a couple seconds you'll have a solid feel for your actual speed-- this is only an issue while running; my shoe pod has been fantastic when I've used it by comparison. Both are more than adequate for distance and average pacing and speed while biking is dead on. Distance is always accurate. Antenna sensitivity has been good for me; challenge has been the link between watch and pod, they need to be within arm's length to keep a good connection. Jersey pocket or same arm as watch is fine. Battery life 18-20 hours on alkalines, 30+ hours on lithium aaa's. I wouldn't trade mine for anything but only wish it added GPS altitude and lat/long/grid readouts to my T6.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect, December 18, 2007

This pod plus a T6 replaced my annoyingly unreliable Garmin Edge 305, and I could not be happier. The GPS has worked flawlessly. I use it for road biking and trail running. It finds satellites fast and holds reception even under fairly heavy tree and cloud cover. I use the arm strap for running and it's very comfortable. On my bike I just throw it in a pocket in my handlebar bag and I'm good to go. The battery life is longer than advertised. I wanted to check the accuracy, so I ran several laps on a quarter mile track and it was never more than 1/100 of a mile off.

1.0 out of 5 stars Upright, June 9, 2007

The unit worked very well as long as it was position so that it faced upright to the sky at all times. If I had chosen to mount it on my bike rack, it would have been a good tool. However, I could not get it to stay facing upright enough while walking or running to maintain contact with the satellite, and so I kept losing the signal and needed to stop and reposition the unit.
