Running with a wrist GPS

Just bought that Garmin Forerunner 301 on ebay so I went for a short roller run around near-by “parc d’acclimatation” in Boulogne park to try this devices. Although I don’t know why I missed the first few hundred meters (seems that acquiring the GPS signal isn’t that easy after all), the device did a great job tracking position & heartbeat through its wireless heartbeat monitor. I uploaded my short run on motionbased through a “one-click” safari plugin which did a great job connecting to the GPS and pushing the data to the server and meshing it to a google map.
