How well does this device work with C25K Mobile App?

The device works well with the C25K application. It records your heartbeat and the software will warn you if you are out of your target heart range either high or low. The results of your run are displayed on a graph showing your heart rate, pace, and distance. It helped me improve my workouts. I purchased this unit because it was on the recommended list from the C25K developers. You need to make sure it is charged up before use since there is no battery level gauge and unplug it from the chest strap after use so it doesn't discharge. Hope this helps.

Michael, from what I understand, the pm5 will do more, as far as recording your workouts...I purchased the pm3 and am very happy with it...but my husband and I just row. We're not tracking our progress electronically, although there is a card that comes with it that can do that. We still have programmed workouts to choose from. From what I understand the pm5 is the newer version. Good luck, we enjoy our machine. For what we want, the pm3 works well for us.

I've used the first generation Nike SDM unit(which is an accelerometer) with much success over streets, trails, and races. Over a marathon it was within 10 feet over the entire distance. So I plan to check this out, first without purchasing the shoes and just strapping the accelerometer to my shoe. Once calibrated, I expect it to behave the same as my SDM.Once you have a nano it is a pretty inexpensive running tool. I picked up a 1gb nano brand new on craigslist (sf) for $100. I will purchase one tomorrow and try it out over the weekend.

I ran with my Garmin405CX just yesterday on a route that I know is almost exactly 3.1 miles. I've driven it and checked the odometer. I've walked it and counted paces with a pedometer. I've mapped it on Google and Yahoo to the same results. The 405CX absolutely nailed it. If it's an accuracy problem, I'd suspect it is related to location or satellite interference of some kind.

My ipod works well. I use some longer work out apps and it works great. I have not noticed any slow speed issues yet.

I'm using it with my iPod Nano. One click toggles stop/go. Two clicks moves to beginning of next track. Three clicks moves to beginning of current track.

For others who have this question, I use Cyclemeter, and have it customized for Mountain Biking activites as well as working out in the gym. It did require a one time upgrade fee of $5, but that unlocked everything that other apps charge annual subscriptions for. I switched to this from the MapMy series and have loved the combo heart rate + exercise/fitness tracking.

I've been using the Mio c310x for over 10 months now. My first and only GPS unit to date, so I can't comment much on teh Garmin c320. -the Mio has 3.5mil POIs. Didn't know much back then, but that is kind of a low amt, but it's still something to work with -Navteq used to overall superior, but ever since Mio finally came out with the map update for the c310x back around 9/2007, I thought i read somewhere here saying now says that Navteq no longer enjoys it's supremecy, but can't find the direct quote http://www.gpslodge.com/archives/008669.php -mp3 player isn't very good. Still better than nothing, but not very good at all. No way to fast forward/rewind within tracks. Surprising since it's touted to be an ebook reader. Hate to have to start a 30min track all over again to get to where u left off. Playlists are hard to work with. I just gave up on them, leaving them in order they were added to the device. I've used and made playlists in winamp 2.81, Windows Media Player 9, and 4th gen ipod with ease, but half the time, I'd rather use my PDA as an mp3 player if it were b/w these 2 for music -contrary to what's around, the c310x does NOT come with Canadian maps, preinstalled or otherwise -US maps are preloaded my next GPS device will have many more POIs, and text2speech, but my c310x gets me to where i wanna go, even in unkonwn territory

I imagine it depends where you clip the device, but I haven't had any trouble with it. Unlike pedometers, it doesn't seem to pick up movement from driving or when I'm restless at work.

Hi, If you have an Ipod Nano you can try the very cheap, in comparison with GPS, Nike+ Sportkit. Once you calibrate it, it is very accurate. All my runs (same route) about 8km only vary on +/- 100m. Hope that helps a little bit.

I have been using the BLE Heart Rate Monitor app, which is free and works great. The developer tries to charge for certain features (charting, exporting to CSV, etc.), but if you just need it to monitor your current heart rate during a workout, you don't need to spend a dime.

Yes! It works really good!, What I do for calibration is use the first time with smartphone gps to measure 1km distance, after that and using same foot and sneakers S1 will work perfectly.

I use it as a guide to see how active I've been. Room for error can be 15-25%. Mine has been very accurate with my workouts and strides.
