Navman X300 GPS speed + distance

OK... why is it so cheap.....?

The Navman range has struggled to compete with the Garmin Forerunner range. The main reason for this is that the Navman range does NOT download to a PC. If you want an easy to use, non-pc downloading GPS device to measure outdoor speed and distances, then the Navman X300 is a great choice GPS.

For windsurfers, sailors etc, this is a great device (speed output in KMH/MPH only, no knots), it will tell you how far and how fast, max speed. It is IDEALLY suited for skiers and snow boarders, that who it was originally aimed at.

This is what we said when it came out 18 months ago... at £150!! : Heart Rate Monitor .co.uk are pleased to stock the Navman X300 GPS speed and distance monitor. This is the flagship / top of the range unit in the Navman 300 series GPS speed and distance monitors. The Navman X300 will provide accurate and instant speed and altitude information (using GPS) while you enjoy your skiing, running, sailing, climbing etc

The Navman X300 is aimed at the multi-sports user that needs instant access to speed, distance and altitude data while participating in any outdoor activity. It is a combination of features from the Navman A300 and the Navman R300 (although it does not give "pace" just "speed" in mph or kmh).

The Navman X300 is IPX7 water resistant, up to 1m for 30 minutes and it is worn on the upper arm.

The Navman X300 has an angled display that gives the user clear and accurate, speed, distance and heading information at a glance. © BHIP Ltd 2005

site owners comments about the Navman 300 series GPS speed and distance monitors: The Navman is worn on the upper arm. It wieghs less than 130g and measures 7.9cm x 7.9cm x 2.7cm deep

It does take a few sessions to get used to it, but once accustomed to the unit being on your upper arm, as opposed to the wrist like the Garmin ForeRunner. After a few sessions you will forget it is there, it is comfortable and convenient.

Important note: When used outside, suburban residential, on water, away from dense tree cover, with clear view of the sky, these GPS units are highly recommended. However, if you are training in an area with a lot of obscured sky, for example in a major city, London, Manchester etc, we would be cautious in recommending the use of the Garmin / Navman GPS type SDM's due to potential weak GPS signal from tall building shadowing. If the majority of your time training is between tall buildings (4 storey or more) on both sides, then it is possible you will suffer loss of satellite signal and the units' accuracy may be compromised.

BHIP Ltd cannot accept a unit back for refund if it's failure is due only to the training environment unless it is in 100% as new condition, including all packaging. If you are training around a "normal" suburban town with 2 - 3 storey buildings either side of the streets, you should be fine. The clearer view of the sky, the higher the level of accuracy. Please bear this in mind the first time you test the unit.
