It is not like the GPSs for the cars which work only on roads. It allows
you to trace a pre-recorded route and compare your current run in
real-time with your past runs!! It is supposed to have a pretty neat
accuracy as well! Works off-road and under trees as well!
I pulled up the following review from http://www.runnersworld.com/
GPS: Given Garmin's dominance in the GPS market, it's no surprise that
the Forerunner has such good performance and functionality. Unlike the
other watches, the Forerunner never lost its signal, even when trail
running (a common issue with GPS). A particularly cool feature of the
watch is an automatic waypoint setting that leaves a digital bread-crumb
trail wherever you go, making it much easier to retrace your running
route.
Foot pod: Garmin's foot pod was the easiest to calibrate and the second
most accurate (only off by 40 meters on a 5-K run). On the downside, the
hard plastic base (the others are rubberized) made the gel pack-sized
unit the most uncomfortable to wear.
HR monitor: The Forerunner doesn't do as much cardio interpretation as
the Suunto T4 or Polar RS800, but the watch's history feature almost
makes up for this by displaying tons of data at once. This allows you to
compare pace, distance, calories, and heart rate over time to see how
much you're improving.
Perfect for: The large display and simple screen navigation make it
ideal for beginners, and the advanced GPS features are great for trail
runners.
