Buildings tree’s and Powerlines reduce the accuracy but it still picks up an accurate GPS signal to run in areas.

I really thought that this was a good product. But upon receiving the 205 I saw a warning that states there is a chance that you could get cancer from wearing it! So that was a huge turn off for me. I mean who wants to wear something that gives them cancer. Its stupid! Besides that point the product is really good… but i think sticking with a old fashion stop watch isnt that bad of an idea especially since you can calculate ur distance using sites like http://www.favoriterun.com/home/welcome. And you’re really getting the same result and saving a lot of money… It took me a while to realize that…but hey if u like to spend tons of money by all means go ahead.

I am sure that this is a great product, but I never received the shipment from Amazon. When I didn’t receive the USPS shipment, I called Amazon and they promised to send another Garmin. Then, they informed me that the product was out of stock, so they would have to refund my money. I still don’t have a Garmin, so I will be buying it elsewhere.

Very strange, Amazon discounts you from USD 350 to a price of around USD 250. Nice you would say, isn’t it? USD 100 discount, wow. Wrong, the suggested retail price of Garmin is USD 268!!!

So, your discount is ‘only’ about USD 18. That’s something different. the reall price with a discount of USD 100 should be USD 160 or so.
