Navigation Test

Siv is Getting me a Garmin Forerunner 205 for my birthday (a little early I know, as I want to use it on PJ's 40th bithday walk in Mid-June).
Due to attrocious weekend weather, the first test I was able to perform was IN A CAR driving to Ikea Lakeside.
I uploaded the data from the device to the Motion based website and got the above map (it overlays your route onto Google maps)...So it seems pretty accurate, tracking me down the A12, A127 and M25, and the statistics on the website are extremely detailed.

I've now added a google map view embedded from www.everytrail.com

Those things are great. Just don't go running in the woods or you will lose signal.
