Does this have a GPS? I was wondering if it could be used for fitness apps like mapmyrun.

It does not have a GPS, or 3g. This is good for music, youtube, and skype. But thats about it.

I use this heart monitor but not with the app suggested. It will work with multiple apps so I'm sure there is probably one that will alert you to a specific heart rate. I use mapmyfitness.

Hello Manuel, No it doesnt display your gps coordinates. It shows a dish looking icon that flashes for 30 seconds or so until the watch has locked on. Side note... Once I transfer my run to Endomondo, the google map route with the streets that I ran on will be there to look at. Hoped that helped.

No. The Garmin Swim doesn't have any GPS function (you'd need to use the 310xt or 910xt version for open water swimming). Instead with the Swim you have to tell it what length of pool you are in and then in does a pretty good job based on your arm movement and glide off the walls of how many laps and what type of stroke which it then bases its distance, calories, etc... off of.

Yes,When you download your run data to your computer you will get a GPS map and the path you ran super imposed on in. At the bottom is a graph that will track pace, altitude, speed, and distance. It is my first GPS watch but I have been very pleased. No complaints.

It is not a GPS mapping device. It is a runners watch that will five you distance, time, pace, average pace, calories burned and heart rate (with heart rate monitor).

Yes it does but I recommend you buy the ipod/gps connect cord, it's about $30. Then it's about $50 for garmin app.

Check to see if it has a slot for a scandisk card. The advertising indicates that it does. I use mine for updating the maps. only, so you might want to check with Garmin directly before buying the card.

No. I bought this for my mother as a present. By the time it came for her to open it, it was to late to return.the GPS doesn't work at all. Can't get a map to any where

Yes, it has GPS function built in. In fact when I hit the GPS switch in my garage before starting it asks me if it is indoors? Don't know why or what the difference is. Perhaps the power of the transmitted signal or the sensitivity of the receiver. Works great and mileage is very close to the mileage on my cycle computer. I'm a bicycle rider.

I have not tried to sync with MapMyRun, so, not sure if that works. The software includes a local application as well as upload to the Garmin site, watch has wireless connection to PC via ANT USB stick for all tracking data

It does indeed have built in GPS. If heart rate monitoring is important to you you'll have to buy a separate cheststrap and link them but this unit has everything you need for a basic running GPS watch.

Any app that requires GPS will work. No problem using it with the native Maps app or Google Maps. Pls note that I had problems with this particular device and replaced it with the Dual Electronics XGPS 150 which works well.

There is a GPS app available, I have not used it. It's a basic tablet, I mainly use for Facebook & online shopping.
