RunKeeper: Belts is not a good armband alternative
Posted by: Dennis Madsen In: Miscellaneous
I have an armband which I use to carry my iPhone on my running workouts. While doing my workout the RunKeeper App is running on my iPhone which use the GPS inside the phone to track my running progress. I was getting tired to workout with this thing around my arm. Therefore I was looking for alternatives.
I found the SPIBelt which was well recommended on the web. Since I would wrap the phone inside the SPIBelt and then put the belt under my jacket, I had my thoughts about the quality of the GPS signal when lying there. Nevertheless I bought the SPIBelt to try it out. Now I have done a workout with it. I’m sorry to say, but the GPS signal was very weak. My workout took about 30 minutes but only nine GPS positions was received.
