Have been using my mobile phone with gps via map my run but of late have found picking up a signal a problem. Does anyone know do the Garmin/timex watches have more powerful gps receivers than that in mobile phones?
I was using run keeper on my phone, but had to go into the Navigation app for my phone's GPS to pick up my location before going into Runkeeper. Bit of a pfaff and still took a good few minutes, but at least it worked!

sounds wierd but try a different app?
i have used Runkeeper mostly but sometimes find that with Endomondo the GPS picks up quicker. (no idea why)
Nope. Phones have inbuilt GPS receivers so they track location.
Thx for all comments have now purchased a Garmin 110 will be out
tomorrow testing it....
My Garmin 205 normaly only varies by .05 of a mile over a marathon (urban) and that could be my line. even in trees it works very accuratly
