I have a Nordic Track treadmill and it has the same feature where I can run anywhere on the earth that Google has mapped. I can draw a course anywhere and the incline is matched. Also the screen matches the road with immages from Google earth. It is pretty cool. in the middle of winter in Maine I can run in places I used to run in New York CA or Arizona.

Thanks. Whats the model so I can compare the two.

The model I have is 3 years old. BUT this is the current offering that is the closest to what I have.

Thanks. I was looking at that after your post. Just trying to figure out which is a better treadmill. Both have similar warranty. I cant see either in person as I dont have a local store that sells them.

Do you happen to know the height of the deck? Im looking to see the measurement from the floor to the top of the running deck. Just want to check ceiling clearance

I think it is maybe 10"???

I will put a tape on mine and let you know.

10 3/4 inches is the height of the belt.

Thanks for taking the time to measure

No problem, good luck treadmill shopping. For what it is worth I have used that treadmill for 3 years and between me and my wife we have put nearly 3K in miles on it. No problems.

I am considering purchasing a ProForm Boston and would appreciate feedback from anyone who has purchased one. I've considered several models and like the fact that this offers a decline where many others don't. There are only two models on the ProForm website, 3.0 and 4.0 but have noticed a 2.0 on several other sites. Difference in price is $2999 for the 4.0, $2499 for the 3.0 and $1999 for the 2.0. The only significant difference I can see from the 3 and 4 to the 2.0 is the size of the screen (10" vs 7").

Dont you have to pay the iFit $99 a year subscription fee to have this feature? I have a NordicTrack as well, but have never used this feature, since I am too cheap to pay for the subscription.

Yes, I don't think it is quite $99 a year. I let is lapse in the summer and renew it for 4 months in the winter when we are stuck inside.

Do you know if the treadmill will allow you to upload that workout on that course to Strava?

Sorry, I don't know.
