Navman M300 Sport Tool for Watersports

Amazon.com Product Description
If you're a water sports enthusiast who likes to keep tabs on your distance, speed, heading and other key data, the Navman M300 is for you. This small device, which attaches to your arm, uses GPS technology to track your position with precise accuracy anywhere on the globe, making it perfect for windsurfing, sailing, leisure boating and jet-skiing. It's also reliably water resistant, so it's ready for action.

The M300's simple, easy-to-use interface consists of only two buttons and a small, monochrome LCD readout. On it, you can view your current, maximum and average speeds in nautical miles or knots. The unit also displays heading data that is accurate to 2 degrees, as well as lap times for regattas. A 50-lap history lets you look up your best times on the course. In addition to time and date displays (using a super-accurate GPS-based atomic clock!), an automatic timer keeps track of your time on the water.

The M300 features changeable faceplates so you can dress it up to suite your style. Its diminutive size (79 x 78 x 27 millimeters) and weight (150 grams) means it is easy to wear with the included armband. Battery life via a single AA battery is rated at up to 16 hours and there is a handy battery life indicator on the LCD screen. The M300's rubberized, water-resistant case is ready for adverse conditions.

High tech sporttools.......2006-02-19

I own the Navman for Walking and purchased the Navman for Watersports for a friend. They are based on the same technology but use different algorithms so they are tailored for the application. The technology is GPS technology, and the Navman works by triangulating your position with GPS satelites which then allows you to track the time and the direction of your move and hence your speed and heading. My friend thinks it will help him from getting lost because it will tell him how far he has gone and the heading so getting back should be intuitive. I hope so. It also records averages and his performance for up to 50 laps and as a serious athelete he finds that helpful.

The Navman for Walking is not dependent on good wind or good weather so I have used it extensively and I use it everyday. It performs well and is surprisingly durable. It nudges me to keep my speed and distance up.

Good but poor documentation.......2006-01-11

We been using this GPS unit to measure our horse rides. The display is a bit difficult to read while riding. The documentation clarifies very little and is not in depth at all. Scrolling through the various modes can be tedious. It does keep track of avg speed and max speed. We've yet to figure out how to easily start a new lap.

They could do a lot more to make the interface and documentation more user friendly.

Absolutely wonderful.......2006-01-05

Folks, if there's anybody out there thinking of getting fit, breathing in some good air and maybe lose a pound or two, one of the best ways is to get out on your 2 pins. The problem i've always had is a little lack of motivation. With this gadget, everything changes. Knowing down to the exact yard what kind of progress you're making does wonders for your motivation.....you'll even be getting those training shoes on when it's minus 2 and snowing a blizzard! I can't recommend this device enough, go out and get one.

Neat but Flawed.......2005-10-03

FOR - Lightweight, attractive to look at and without the numerous unnecessary functions that many gadgets come with.
AGAINST - miscalculates urban times and distances due to loss of GPS signal
-screen difficult to read
-controls awkward when worn
-Navman do not reply to requests for advice/information not included in the manual

Just what I was looking for!.......2005-08-14

I wanted a GPS system that was not a watch (I already have one I love) and this was the perfect device! On a recent vacation to the west coast, I was able to run along the beaches and not worry about time and/or distance. Picks up the satellites without any problems so far. I'm very pleased!
