  1. I was considering one of those Timex Ironman GPS systems to track exact distances for running (and
    biking I do).

    However, I was told that they don't work that well. Any other systems that work well?

  2. How exact?

    They are good, but it does depend on the track to a great extent. They are not ready to
    measure a race course for certification yet. For your bike you can get very high accuracy with
    one of those electronic add ons. I ride a 21.2 mile circuit. I am consistent within a couple
    of hundreds of a mile each time, unless I take a little side trip. That is close enough to
    take care of things like a few wide turns or going around a temporary obstacle like a horse on
    the trail.
