Re: [RC] Timex GPS - Karen WilliamsThere is no measuring of anything. You don't have to pre-set anything. You put on the watch and strap the transceiver to your arm, or belt or whatever. The transceiver gets information from satellites which track movement and measure distance. Its a total no-brainer which is exactly what I need. Stride does not matter -- there is nothing to set. You start off going 0.00 mph and have gone 0.0 miles. As soon as you (on the horse or whatever) start to move, the numbers start to change. Its amazing.

I mean its all relative because "me" is being moved along by a horse, but hopefully you understand what I'm getting at! Do you have to pre-set an odometer on the watch, I don't recall anyone saying that. And so then I would have to measure my horse's stride...how??? And if you are changing pace from walk to trot to canter to trot to walk, etc...how accurate is the reading (since the stride is always changing length). I'm going to get some coffee now. :) Lysane =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
