GPS Jobbies
I've read here on this site and elsewhere the odd posting where these devices occasionally let you down, mostly it seems when they lose (or can't find to begin with) the satellites.

My question to the panel is this: given that they do occasionally fail in an obvious way, can you be sure they are accurate at all? Are they continuously struggling to find satellites and relying on guesswork to give you results?

I ask myself the same questions about my HRM. How can I be sure the damn thing is accurate? Should I buy shares in Garmin, Timex and Polar on the basis that gullibility is profitable, or do these beasts actually have some value?
Run. Just run.
