The tracking is amazing. I ran on my regular stomping grounds through Mundy Park in Coquitlam (Vancouver), British Columbia. This forest is incredibly dense with large trees. With the Forerunner 201 I would loose the GPS signal immediately when entering the park. The 205 held the signal the whole time.

Have you tried seeing how it works in heavily urbanized(i.e. Business District with Tall Skyscrapers areas? I usually lose my signal there with older GPS models. Thanks!

Yes. No problems in urban areas around skyscrapers. Trust me on this one...if I don't loose the signal in that park, it will great almost anywhere.

Does that unit come with the satellite image maps that you show on that post?

Thanks

BC forests make urban areas (with skyscrapers) seem like open fields.
