  1. will this measure acuurately if your're running laps at a
    track? (just going in circles) forgive my ignorance, i know
    little bout GPS

  2. Yep, it will measure it without difficulty. I've got one and
    I've used it at a track with no issue.

    There was some discussion on this about a month ago. You can
    view it here: tinyurl.com27z35

    My experience is that the Forerunner tends to over-estimate
    the distance. This is even after runing on the inside of
    lane 1 with the Forerunner on my left arm. It seems to be
    much better at larger loops or a long out and back. From
    now on, I'm sticking with my HRM or Timex for track
    workouts. However, I do find that the Forerunner comes in
    handy for warming up and cooling down, since I like to
    leave the track and run the cross country course for that
    part of the workout.
