Does it measure the distance accurately while running/walking uphill or downhill?

I do a lot of hill work (in Pennsylvania) in half marathon training and it seems to measure accurately and consistently.
1676833
Yes it does. I have measured a certain distance by car then ran the same route and the Garmin 10 is correct. I love mine for a few different reasons. I am so glad my friend shared information about hers. Well spent money.

Flat as a pancake here in Orlando, but it does register when I run up or down an overpass. Distances seems to be calculating just fine!

Yes, I had no problem with it being accurate. I do a lot of country road running and I have tracked it in my car the miles are the same. :)

I'm not sure, I haven't tried to compare it...there aren't any hills where I live. :) I can say that overall it has been accurate and I'm really happy with it.

Don't see why not, it calcs distance by GPS not steps, and heart rate works either walking or running

No. This is a great interval timer, but it does not track distance or average speed.

No, it does not track steps or miles, just heart rate. But it keeps track of your calories burned, hours spent in activity and how long you are in your target heart rate zone.

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.

If you're asking if it measures distance, no. It is for leveling or making sure many items are lined up.

It counts your steps whether your walking on a treadmill or on ground and whether your walking or running. As long as your moving it accurately counts your steps.

Depending on the distance, it will be less accurate the farther away you get. It should give a decent approximation at that distance.

It does not. It keeps track of your distance and time only. What is nice is that you can run where you want without paying attention to any route. At the end of your run you can 1) See how far you ran 2) See your time for each mile of your run 3) See your average pace for the entire run and 4) During your run you can see your current pace. You will need to know yourself how to get to your destination.

Not very. I took it on my running route and while it always gave the same distance, it was about 10-15% short every time. The route wasn't tree covered or among large buildings either. I guess if you know the error margin you can still work with it, and it might still be worth the price.

Yes it does. It tracks duration, distance, avg.pace, avg. speed, max speed, and calories.

It does but it's a little flakey, and that's with good satellite coverage. GPS' just don't work so great when it comes to elevation. The 305 does work 'good enough' though. I do all my runs on mountains so elevation and grades are very important factors. I'm satisfied enough.

You don't. It has an accelerometer that can track your steps for cadence. But it.is not very precise. On treadmills I've seen error margina ranging from 1%-15%

Yes it will track steps/distance. If you set the timer on it and you are stationary too long it will vibrate letting you know it is time to get up moving. It will also track your sleeping patterns. No GPS

I live in Houston which is totally flat. The altitude readings are not accurate enough to reflect the 10 ft changes up and down as I run. However, I used my 305 on runs in the CA mountains and the altitude readings were surprisingly accurate. Using the latitude and longitude location data I compared the altitude to topographical maps and they were spot on.

I think it should as along is it's clipped properly to your belt or waistband. It detects your walking motion and it shouldn't matter if you're on the ground or treadmill.

No. The unit will compute your stride length and it is pretty accurate. If you think that there is a problem with the stride length there is a feature where you can manually set it.
