Amazon.com Product Description:
The Navman A300 is the first performance measuring tool developed specifically for skiers. If you're a downhill or backcountry skier or snowboarder and you like to keep tabs on your speed, altitude, cumulative distance skied and other data, the A300 is for you. This small device, which attaches to your arm, uses GPS technology to track your movements with precise accuracy anywhere on the globe. And because the A300 excludes ski lift rides from distance calculations, you'll get the most accurate measurement of your downhill exploits possible.
The A300's simple, easy-to-use interface consists of only two buttons and a small, monochrome LCD readout. On it, you can view your current, maximum and average speeds. The unit also displays distance data that, as mentioned, can be programmed to exclude ski lift rides. The unit will automatically record up to 50 downhill runs so you can recall the elapsed time on each run later. Current altitude, as well as cumulative altitude readings are available, as well. And of course, the A300 tells the time and date (using a super-accurate GPS-based atomic clock!).
The A300 features changeable faceplates so you can dress it up to suite your style. Its diminutive size (79 x 78 x 27 millimeters) and weight (120 grams) means it is easy to wear with the included armband. Battery life via a single AA battery is rated at up to 10 hours and there is a handy battery life indicator on the LCD screen. The A300's rubberized, water-resistant case is ready for adverse conditions.

I have the running version, and i do love it. I agree that reading the displays can be difficult while running, but it's been a really nice toy for me. GPS does take a couple minutes to sync sometimes, but usually that gives me enough time to stretch and walk up out of my condo complex's hill. Doing laps/splits isn't that difficult, you just need to sit somewhere and fiddle with it for a bit. Probably the best investment i have ever made for running; right up there with good shoes. However, ... Read More

These things aren't inexpensive, especially for a college student, but I run a lot and wanted something to help chart my progress. The first thing I noticed was the poor reception. It takes about 5-6 minutes of clear skies to sync with your local satellites, but that isn't as much of a hassle as it might seem. Just turn on the unit when you leave the house, do your stretches outside, and it should be ready by the time you are.
The other issue is that it loses the signal often; if you live in ... Read More

We been using this GPS unit to measure our horse rides. The display is a bit difficult to read while riding. The documentation clarifies very little and is not in depth at all. Scrolling through the various modes can be tedious. It does keep track of avg speed and max speed. We've yet to figure out how to easily start a new lap.
They could do a lot more to make the interface and documentation more user friendly.

Folks, if there's anybody out there thinking of getting fit, breathing in some good air and maybe lose a pound or two, one of the best ways is to get out on your 2 pins. The problem i've always had is a little lack of motivation. With this gadget, everything changes. Knowing down to the exact yard what kind of progress you're making does wonders for your motivation.....you'll even be getting those training shoes on when it's minus 2 and snowing a blizzard! I can't recommend this device enough, ... Read More
