The foot pod is basically a pedometer for times when you are indoors or cannot get satellite signals.
A pedometer relies on sensing when you swing your foot while walking/running and how long your stride is.
Both of those are very erratic when you are skating.

She will be studying abroad in Denmark next semester, and I’d like to know if the foot pod (GPS enabled to track distance) will work there. I know some other Garmin products only work in the US unless you pay extra. Does anyone know if this is the case with the Forerunner 50?

It is very close to the speed when I am on the treadmill until I go over 5 MPH. Then the readings are very erratic. Any ideas. I’ve only had this about 5 days. Tried replacing the battery on the foot pad but that did nothing. I just might have to take this back if I can’t get this to work better.
Thanks.

Are there any other watches “good” that shows pace and distance ran?

This is a new foot pod so I don’t think it’s the battery.
