Terry thanks for the tip on Amazon. Now I can upgrade for less money. Never thought of checking there.

There a a few websites that you can synch your run with an actual road map....

I know this one is a little old but I had to add my feedback. I use the Suunto x9i. It is more than I really need to be honest. I love the GPS feature but it was a little difficult to figure out at first. There are many aspect of the watch that must be set before it will work for you. Although there are more features than I can name, I would not recommend this one unless you plan on getting into some real extreme off road stuff. I like the fact that I can set waypoints and memory points and get all of the elevation data but I really don't need it just to know how far I've ran. I mean you can actually set the darn watch up to alarm if conditions are right for rain! I could just look up but instead I bought an expensive watch to tell me. Looking back I know I should have bought a less expensive gps watch that would have done what I needed right out of the box instead of buying one with the most bells a whistles and a user's manual that leaves you wondering what the heck you've gotten into. I have found that I pay more attention to time spent running that to distance ran. I have a good idea of my pace now and have covered the same area so many times I know every inch of it so the Suunto is becoming more of a stop watch than a GPS watch.
