I have the RS800G3 and am relatively happy with it, but I really like the way Garmin allows you to download the file and overlay it on Google Maps. Anyone know of an app, or a hack, that you can use with Polar to acheive a similar result?
You need the RS800CX with the GPS unit. I have the CX, and my wife has last years G3. Same GPS unit and HR, but the watch stores the points the GPS is sending it. In all honesty, the mapping is neat, but it doesn’t make me any faster. It just distracts me from actually looking at my HR etc after the workout to see how I matched up to the plan, and instead shows me where I’ve already been. I confess to beeing a gear geek, and enjoy looking at the maps, but there is no way I am spending the money to replace my wife’s with a CX. Most of my friends have the Garmin, and the novelty wears off pretty quick. Like I said, you’ve already been there!!
