Garmin Foot Pod

  • Attaches to shoe
  • Transmits distance and pace data to Garmin Forerunner 305

This tiny foot pod is small enough to attach to your shoelaces or fit in the mid-sole pocket of compatible shoes. It’s always ready to use, and a small, replaceable watch battery powers the foot pod for a year of training. Unlike simple pedometers, this foot pod uses advanced MEMS inertial-sensor technology to analyze your movements and is responsive to stride-length changes to achieve 98 percent accuracy for speed and distance. Additionally, this sensor measures running cadence to help you optimize your training.

Garmin Foot Pod on Vibram FiveFingers KSO

January 4, 2012

A few nice Garmin images I found:

Garmin Foot Pod on Vibram FiveFingers KSO
Garmin

Image by Morten Liebach
Garmin foot pod securely attached to a pair of Vibram FiveFingers KSO. I use it with a Forerunner 60, and it does seem to have problems when I do speed-work and have auto pause set to “on” in some cases, where it will auto pause at 3’30"/km pace. Odd. At my more normal 6’00"/km pace there’s no problems.

I have no idea how accurate it is with pace and distance, but to me the important number is cadence, and that seems accurate.

How many cloth diapers should I take on an outing?

Question by Hello: How many cloth diapers should I take on an outing?
How many cloth diapers should I take with me while running errands, going to the store, and/or dining at a restaurant? I will be bringing along the diapers that will already have the insert in them ahead of time.
Also, should I bring 1 regular diaper bag (for clean diapers, ointment, wipes) and 1 waterproof bag (for soiled)?
Should I bring flushable/biodegradable liners, as well?
Thank you!
Forgot to add that I’m due with our first on April 11th. New to cloth diapering.

Q&A: How do you effectively clean cloth diapers at home?

Question by Ingrid: How do you effectively clean cloth diapers at home?
I have a daughter, she’s not exactly baby, but she’s a little girl, and she has Cerebral Palsy and can’t walk. I’m researching on whether cloth or disposable diapers are more cost efficient, I’ve never used cloth diapers with her yet but I’m thinking of trying it. I’m thinking of using the cloth diapers at home, and the disposable diapers when we’re out, to keep from having to transport used diapers. For anyone who has had experience do cloth diapers hold in moisture well? And how do you effectively clean cloth diapers at home?

I recently bought a Garmin nuvi 200w off ebay and didn’t read until afterwards that it takes FOREVER to connect to satellites. I got it and this is the case. Since a lot of people have experienced this and expressed it, I was wondering if there were any ways or tricks to get it connected. I thought maybe turn it on like ten minutes before leaving or something like that. Please help, it’s a christmas present and I don’t want to disappoint someone.

It honestly shouldn;t take that long. It should just take 30 seconds to a minute at most. Just make sure you are not in a parking garage, or anything else that will block the reception.
