Navman R300 Sport Tool, tracking aid for runners
For runners, stats are everything, how fast am I going? How far have I run? How long is there left? Are questions we all ask ourselves as we pound that pavement or country path. While Garmin offer the Forerunner, a beast of a unit, Navman has opted for a downsized, consumer-friendly unit. But is it up to the task. Deciding that the only real way to test this was by doing a marathon, we did just that. We’re dedicated like that here at Pocket-Lint.
The blue-shelled R300 is the running model of the Sport.Tool’s range, released by Navman and displays options and data applications geared towards the needs of the distance runners.
