 Great features at a great price Jul 06, 2010
The Forerunner 301 is a great GPS for the beginning, moderate level runner. I am training for a half marathon and am shooting for a PR. To accomplish my goal, I needed something that would report my pace along the way. This is a cool GPS and is easy to use. I recommend it highly.
Garmin Forerunner 301 Jun 29, 2010
Originally purchased this for my grandfather who walks every day. But then remembered that he had a pacemaker and there was a warning to contact your physician if this was the case. It worried him too much so I ended up keeping it for myself. It is a little bulky, but works as described. I did have a little tree interference, but it re-calculated quickly. I have not used the heart monitor yet.

This is a decent product but like everyone else has mentioned it has trouble with satelite connection when trail running.
A great running unit, but not perfect. Jun 15, 2010
The Garmin 301 is a great running GPS that will provide you with info on all of your runs. Its great to calculate your calories burned, miles ran, average speed and pace, as well as many other features. I could go on and on about how great the features are on this unit. However, there is one draw back...
The GPS reception is not great, and it is not very accurate. I ran 8 laps around a metric track and my GPS was off by about 330 feet at the end of 2 miles. It may lose GPS signal as well, if you are using this as a solution to accurate distance and timing, this unit is not for you. Its an "average" reading unit, meaning don't beat yourself if you don't beat your old mile or two mile by a few seconds, my unit regularly changes the same distances I run by a few hundred feet. It also read a few hundred feet difference in elevation while running on the track. Again, the features are awesome, but what can you expect from a unit that is no much bigger than a cell phone? Its great for an overall or average reading but not for extremely accurate readings.
Love my Garmin!! Apr 12, 2010
I have been wanting to purchase a Garmin Forerunner. I looked at all the different units available and compaired different evaluations on all the Forerunners from a different website and saw that overall this unit was rated highly by its users. I LOVE this GPS!!!
So far - ease of use, the features offered are easy to access, and this product included a CD to load the proper program on my computer. The sync process is easy and the graphics on the program show me where I need to improve. I haven't utilized the heartrate monitor yet so I will not be rating this.
Overall I am very please with the Garmin Forerunner 301.
