5 out of 5 stars Works Well   December 18, 2009

I bought the foot pod so I could use my 405CX on an indoor track and have been pleased with the results.

Calibration was easy. On the Garmin 010-00658-30 Forerunner 405CX GPS Sport Watch with Heart Rate Monitor (Blue) you can calibrate it using the GPS or a 400m track. I chose to use the GPS and it had me run .66 of a mile. Was easy and seems to be pretty accurate. The only issue is that you need to calibrate it at the pace you usually run at. For instance I usually run at a 10 minute/mile pace but since I was only running .66 miles while calibrating it I ran at a much faster pace throwing it off a bit.

Running on a .10 mile indoor track after 3.5 miles it was off by about 50' more by the end of the run. Not perfect by any means but I could probably calibrate it more (or you can adjust it manually) to key it in.

I don't use it running while outside, but if you don't like the pace setting of the GPS you can have the watch display pace according to the foot pod instead.

Installation and removal is easy. The instructions say it will fit in an insole pocket if your shoe has one, but mine does not. To attach it to the laces you slide the mounting bracket under two X's where your shoe laces cross then snap the pod over the top. To remove you have to press a tab that unhooks it. It's very secure and takes a lot of pressure to remove it. I have no fear that it will come off while running.

I am very happy with the pod, it works very well, and is easy to use. If you want to use your GPS watch on a treadmill or indoor track during the winter months, it's a must have.



5 out of 5 stars Pretty Amazing!   December 1, 2009

I bought this foot pod to use with my Forerunner 50. The 010-11092-00 is the latest model sometimes listed as SDM4 (ANT+) and is quite small; barely bigger than the CR2032 3V Lithium battery that powers it. It easily "paired" with my Forerunner. What was most impressive was the distance recorded on my first use (w/o calibration) was exactly the distance I had recorded previously with a GPS device. From what I have read the pod accelerometers sense and compensate for stride and speed differences...pretty amazing.

I bought the pod for when I do treadmill runs and it has worked like a champ. I log all my runs on Garmin Connect and I am glad that I can now log the treadmill runs. It is hard to monitor training and how my performance is getting better if I can't log all my runs. I recommend the pod to anyone that runs indoors and out.

Great product. Works well with me Forerunner 305. Allows for cadence count when running.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent Accessory for Run Training   April 13, 2010
Curtiss B. Samuel
The Garmin Foot Pod accessory works as expected. This device fits Nike+/Adidas running shoes fitted with the recess inside the shoe or it can be attached to the string of your shoe with an included clip. Foot Pods allow for indoor running or outdoor running where reduced GPS signal will compromise the accuracy of your run training. The cadence feature when coupled with the Garmin 310XT watch provide valuable information for those who want to improve their running form. With no calibration this foot pod appears to be very accurate when measured against the distance on an outdoor track. Again, this product just works as expected.
