51lsgoIirWL. SL160  Suunto GPS Pod Wireless Transmitter Suunto GPS Pod Wireless Transmitter The Suunto GPS POD employs the Global Positioning System to track speed and distance across a wide variety of outdoor activities including hiking, cycling, cross-country skiing, inline skating and kayaking. It adds a new dimension to all POD-compatible Suunto heart rate monitors (Suunto t3, Suunto t4 and Suunto t6).
Customer Review: Unreliable. Frustrating to use
I bought this and put it to use on an 8 mile run 4 days after it arrived. It catches on to the satellite but have constant trouble hanging on to the signal as I run. As a result the readings on the T3 fades in and out. It is a very frustrating experience. I had thought of using this to compare against the foot pod, however T3 only allows the use of one (either the foot pod or GPS pod) at a time. Though the foot pod requires frequent calibration it is atleast consistent. I returned the product. I have read better reviews about Garmin. Garmin can cost 3 times as much. At this point, however I am willing to pay extra to get better reliability.
Customer Review: Unreliable GPS
I purchaced the Suunto T4 and added the GPS to track speed and distance. My wife uses the Garmin 205 and the GPS reception on the Garmin is far superior. Suunto GPS takes along time to initially find a satellite. Once you have a signal it drops it throughout your run. I run in a rural area and still have bad reception. I used the garmin 205 for a couple years and it had very reliable reception. I am considering the foot pod due to the GPS problems.

Customer Review: Forerunner 405
I am using this with my 405 and it works pretty well. I only have two complaints. First it was a bit awkward to get it on so that the large end of the zip tie was in side end, where it is cut out. I wanted to do this though so that the sharp end where the tie was cut off didn’t cut into the watch band. Second, the little part that sticks out and says garmin. It doesn’t seem to really serve any purpose (I am not sure that it would really help hold the watch on) except making it harder it get on and off. I have it on my aero bars.
