Product DescriptionThe GPS Pack combines the t6c wristop training computer with Suunto’s highly praised GPS POD in one valuable package. The GPS POD uses Global Positioning System technology to track and send real-time speed and distance data to your Suunto wrist top computer. This elegant “one button – one mode” POD is ideal for athletes who train in multiple outdoor activities. Runners, cross country or downhill skiers, cyclists, rowers, and more will find the constant feedback of t. . . More >>

The product is not Mac compatible. The GPS pod does not track your route. . . somewhat disappointing. . .

The major reason I bought the t6c/GPS combo was to get accurate instantaneous run pacing information. Maybe, as some have pointed out, this is impossible due to the “limitations” of GPS, or maybe it’s a problem with Suunto’s implementation. I tend to believe it’s a little of both. In my experience, the distance measurements reported via GPS are spot on, but the instantaneous speed information is off by 10-20% (almost always reading slow). I have discovered that I can use the autolap feature to get a reasonable approximation of current speed (I use . 5 mile) — I am a little puzzled as to why the instantaneous speed reading is consistently so far off given that the device is measuring both distance and time (duh!) accurately. I have to disagree with one poster who said this was an ideal device for Ironman. I do Ironmans, and what I would love to do is keep the watch running for the entire race, use the bike pod with autolap off and GPS for the run, with autolap on (given that the speed reading is useless). Unfortunately, you can’t change autolap parameters without restarting your timing. In general, I like the t6c, but am disappointed in the GPS performance. As a software engineer, little interface nits like not being able to toggle autolap really bug me.
