Will this display the trails or runs on my iPad? My treadmill display is not the greatest quality so I would want to view the functions on my iPad.

I don't think so. The ability to display a visual trial depends on the model treadmill you have.

I used a Samsung galaxy tab as my display. My tread mill does not have a built in display. I was disappointed in the ifit module. The courses were incomplete an I found even creating routes using roads in my area had no images to display. I stopped trying to use it after about 3-4 months. Just started watching movies when I run on the treadmill.

Once it's set up it automatically logs everything to your iFit account. However, having said that, it's just a pedometer for me. None of the inputs or displays work like they advertise. The SD card may work better - I don't know. Customer service is pretty good about responding after two inquiries but then just fade away after that. Read every possible thing you can find on every message board/forum you can find before you purchase it. Give yourself a fighting chance! They promise updates but we haven't seen any yet to correct any of this. Good luck if you purchase it! Sincerely!

Absolutely not. This only tracks your mileage that your run. I has no map etc.

You don't actually load anything onto your IFit module -- it all lives on the web. On my treadmill, that means I need a tablet to view the maps, and you need a computer to schedule and create workouts. If you don't renew, you can't log on , and that's it -- brick time!

Strava app on iOS doesn't have indoor mode. You can use cyclemeter, which does have an indoor setting for trainers.

It DOES work on treadmills. The elliptical I can't say for sure as there are so many styles/types. It doesn't work on the elliptical I use so I just track my time (rather than steps) when I am on it.

I use runkeeper and mapmyrun. They both give calories burned; however, the purchased app gives more functions.

Hello Melissa,Unfortunately what are you looking for is not available on Vivofit. It will not show you the route of your runs. However, you will find this feature in the Garmin Forerunner series ( Forerunner 620, 610, 220, etc.)Regards

I think the methodology it uses to track steps is not from the movement of your foot. It may be wrist action or something to that affect. I just got the foot pod, and I did notice that it is accurate if you are running on an indoor track, but not very accurate on a treadmill. It may be user error though. I'm going to have my husband re-look at it and make sure it's set up correctly.

The watch can track and show both. The watch only shows 3 items on a screen at once, so I set it to scroll through the screens while I run. That way, I can see more data. Hope that helps.

I have not used this pedometer on a treadmill, but I do not see why the pedometer would not work on a treadmill. The pedometer does count steps while walking in place, as I have used it that way on occasion.

Yes, It works on my Apple IPad. I've used the maps function and it works great. If the GPS did't work the map function wouldn't work.

Yes it displays the date and time. It also displays steps, mileage, calories burned, or date. How this works is the time is always displayed with each one of those categories below it depending on which one you select.

If you're interested in Elevation related data, I would not recommend buying the Forerunner 305. I have been through multiple devices and many discussions with Tech support who basically informed me that this function (along with the calorie functions) are useless on the Forerunner 305. Apparently, it is Garmin's GPS based elevation data which is not as accurate as the barometric data reported by other devices. This was a surprise to me as I had thought the opposite would have been true. Unfortunately not. I run/ride exclusively in the mountains and I'm very dissapointed to say the least. The standard speed, distance, time, and heart rate functions all work fine. Hope this helps. If you're interested in Elevation related data, I would not recommend buying the Forerunner 305.

Yes, if buy the heart monitor strap. It tells you if its too low or in range. If you sign up for Garmin connect it will create a graph for each workout so you can compare as well. I had to use all of this for a class.

The watch display does not display gain or loss of elevation. However, after you sync your workout data to Garmin Connect website, you can see this data there in a web browser.

The wahoo app is pretty amazing. It allows you to customize workouts and which sensors to use. For indoor treadmill use, I have the heartrate monitor, but turn off GPS. For something outside, I like to track where I run so will turn on heartrate and gps. You can set up each workout under a different profile, and customize which displays you'd like to see. I like the one that shows my optimal fat burn heart rate. Oh, I almost forgot you can also set each profile to alert you. I have mine to alert me when my heart rate enters optimal fat burning zone, and also when it leaves it.

It depends on what you want from your Garmin watch. I wanted to know the distance to the green, period. I can estimate on my own how far it is to the dogleg, don't want to mess around with settings on the course, etc. I just want to look at my wrist and know the distance to the green, and it's very accurate for that.
