will the loop track distances? I would like to get it for running, but only if it will track how far I've gone

Yes it does. On e you either sync it to your phone or connected to your computer you will find out the results of everything you want to know of.

I've had the Loop since Christmas.... it does not track distances. I use the Strava App to track my distance

Yes and No. It will track your distance for the day and tell you what the number of steps equate to in miles. Online it will show a breakdown of how much time was sitting, walking slowly-moderately and/or running. If you make note of your number of steps prior to your run and immediately afterwards, you can figure out your distance by googling the equation.

I've used the first generation Nike SDM unit(which is an accelerometer) with much success over streets, trails, and races. Over a marathon it was within 10 feet over the entire distance. So I plan to check this out, first without purchasing the shoes and just strapping the accelerometer to my shoe. Once calibrated, I expect it to behave the same as my SDM.Once you have a nano it is a pretty inexpensive running tool. I picked up a 1gb nano brand new on craigslist (sf) for $100. I will purchase one tomorrow and try it out over the weekend.

Yes,When you download your run data to your computer you will get a GPS map and the path you ran super imposed on in. At the bottom is a graph that will track pace, altitude, speed, and distance. It is my first GPS watch but I have been very pleased. No complaints.

After just looking over it all I have found there is no actual pace (minutes per mile) data field on the device itself. If you are sure to have a fresh track every time you start you can upload the track to Garmin Connect afterwards and get that data and much much more. You can find other people's data hosted here (http://connect.garmin.com/explore?search=courses) if you need to get an idea of what it looks like. Again, nothing I've found to be pace, but there is speed (mph). With a bit of experience or knowledge, speed can tell you the same thing.

It tracks the current distance, but does not do a summative total. So, if you walk a mile a day for a week, it will only record the mile you walked that day.

If you mean you want to know how far you walked that time, it certainly displays that information on the screen. But if you mean cumulatively over time, it doesn't display that. Like other users mentioned in the comments, I've had trouble syncing the thumb drive to my online membership. For some reason, it never transfers the data. But I go online after each use and plug my information in (which really only takes about a minute or two) and the online system has kept track of my information for over 2 years now. So I can see monthly, yearly, and overall data on usage. If there's a way to track cumulative distance on the treadmill itself, I don't know about it.

Yes, you can track three different travel distances. We have one set to do an ongoing accumulation of miles. One keeps track of our daily travel and resets after a 12 hour period. In the upper right hand corner you can set to see the time yet to destination or the arrival time or a few other choices, too. It will keep a running total of distance traveled.

Yes, you can use it to measure distance, pace and time. It doesn't matter if you are running or using your car or your horse, because it uses the GPS information to calculate the metrics. Good Luck!

If you mean can you find out how far you hit your ball, then yes. You can set the GPS to "0" at any time and then walk to your ball. It will tell you the distance you traveled.

The device works well with the C25K application. It records your heartbeat and the software will warn you if you are out of your target heart range either high or low. The results of your run are displayed on a graph showing your heart rate, pace, and distance. It helped me improve my workouts. I purchased this unit because it was on the recommended list from the C25K developers. You need to make sure it is charged up before use since there is no battery level gauge and unplug it from the chest strap after use so it doesn't discharge. Hope this helps.

Not sure if I understand your question. You can set the auto lap interval to any distance you want. So for cycling you can make it for two or three miles. Just a word of warning, there is no cycling function on this watch yet. I assume They will add it during an update, but it is strictly running now.

Yes you can but from what I can tell, you are unable to view your stats at the same time. You'd be much better off to just set your lap distance to 1 mile (the default), then enable auto-lap. The watch will beep at the end of every mile and you would know to switch to a run/walk.

Outside your Forerunner will use the GPS and give you actual speeds and distances. Inside if you're on a treadmill or if you are on an inside track and your watch can't get a GPS signal, the foot pod will estimate your distance and speed pretty accurately. I'm not sure exactly how the algorithm that it uses calculates it but it uses cadence information that it gets from the accelerometer of the foot pod and your stride length to do the estimates. I think that I read that the more that you run/walk using the GPS and foot pod, the more accurate it gets.

No the screen will show u the remaining distance but if u push the big button it will show and speak the distance.

s1 foot pod was designed for running, it only measures distance and speed. it wouldn't work for that purpose.
