Even better, the X10 has an improved GPS reception for tracking in difficult locations, like under heavy foliage in the rainforest. It's also got a track-back function so you can retrace your steps if you're lost, and 33% more battery life than the previous X9i generation. It also live-records routes and waypoints, so you can pinpoint on your PC later where that ancient undiscovered ruined temple really was, and it charges/connects over USB.

Available in two colors in September, though there's no info on price. [Navigadget]

Sure would be nice to do this with a Garmin Forerunner GPS device. But wait. You can:

There's a free application called Foreconv that lets you take your GPS data you've recorded as you've walked or run with any Garmin Forerunner wrist GPS device, and convert it into data that can be read by Google Earth. It's a free download, and works beautifully. All you do is export your history file using the Garmin Training Center software that's included with each Forerunner device, then you open that file in Foreconv, where it quickly converts all that data into a .kml file that can be read by Google Earth.

Take a look at the screenshot below, and you'll see a year's worth of GPS data from daily walks around the neighborhood, converted into Google Earth using Foreconv. What you're looking at in this graphic are over 325 different trips, each one superimposed onto Google Earth.

Within Google maps, you can also individually select whichever day's data you wish, showing you exactly where you went on that day. Here's a map with only last Sunday's four-mile walk selected:

The Garmin Forerunner 301 (pictured below) is an excellent GPS tracking device you wear on your wrist, and it can also keep track of your heart rate at the same time. I'm also testing the Garmin Forerunner 305, and oddly enough, the 301 works better for me and is actually faster at acquiring satellites than its pokey successor. Best of all, the 301 is still available, and now it's offered at a rock-bottom price of $150 at Amazon, about $200 less than I paid for it early last year and $110 less than the Garmin Forerunner 305.

Tracking your running or hiking routes is fun with the Garmin Forerunner, but placing it on a Google Earth map and then doing a highly detailed 3D flyover? Now that's remarkable. – Charlie White

The watch costs about $300 and the additional lumpkins, including the foot pod and the bike pod, cost about $79 each. However, the wealth of information, including EPOC (excess post-exercise oxygen consumption), respiration rate, and ventilation, are sure to be useful when we move from the couch to the fridge during a lull in American Idol action.

So, I've been wearing this all around the hospital, monitoring my altitude as I schlep from the ICU to the basement to the MICU, checking the barometric pressure of the bathrooms, predicting the weather from the 10th floor fire escape, as well as orienteering my way from the cafeteria to the cath lab using only compass points; all while wearing it while washing my hands religiously and while working out. My review- It's great, and I've gotta say, for a $200 watch, this thing has gotten more positive
feedback than the ostentatious solid gold Rolexes that those GI attending love to flaunt.

So give it a look, it's not exactly a wrist-top EKG like their new new t6, but it's a damn cool watch with a whole lot of bang for the buck!

I didn't really know they still used the word sailor if it had nothing to do with the Navy, but Suunto likes to say that its M91 (a rework of the the company's M9 wristop computer) is "the world's smallest wrist-worn GPS for sailors." Ok, whatever. So if you fit in that narrow category, the M91 now comes with a USB cable to make transferring data from your laptop simple (cause you wouldn't have to actually use another USB cable you may have lying around) and includes useful navigational information on speed, heading, and distance. Up to 500 waypoints can be stored in the unit's memory and the Suunto Sail Manager software links Suunto M9i to a PC and makes navigation much easier by visualizing the routes on marine charts. Also, if the battery gets low, you can also use the USB cable to plug the watch into a laptop battery. Look for this baby in March, captain.
