Suunto GPS POD Reviews
Would rather have Foot pod.
Spotty Coverage
Comments from The Staff:
Thanks for your review. The GPS POD can take a few moments to lock on to satellites, as you have seen. If you plan on running through heavily wooded areas, urban areas with tall buildings, etc., give it a few moments more to lock on to as many satellites as possible, or use the Foot POD for these runs; ANY GPS may encounter tracking issues in these types of environments. Thanks again for your feedback.
