If S3 is not present the G3 is used for pace/speed and distance. <BR/><BR/>natalie the G3 sensor is capturing the location information, but the watch does not support navigation. If you are afraid to get lost (I actually sometimes ride to get lost) then you can get a map of Garmin unit instead. Garmin units have navigation capabilities.<BR/><BR/>Henrik - interesting idea. Send me a mail at musiljan on Gmail and I'll be glad to pass you few files so you can look at them. One reason I got RS800CX is that it works with the same HR belt as the CS600 I already own.kxuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16004697091903984115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959150828995746582.post-67325433158330699482008-10-09T12:56:00.000-04:002008-10-09T12:56:00.000-04:00Great blog - and thanks for the excellent informat...Great blog - and thanks for the excellent information on the RS800cx.<BR/><BR/>I already have the "old" RS800 and the G3 GPS receiver - but also a Garmin Edge 605 for mountainbiking.<BR/><BR/>I would like to combine the HRM data from my Polar products (i also have teh CS600) with the Garmin GPS data.

I'm thinking about getting this polar for my hr, but I also would like to have a GPS for planning my bike routes (and for not getting lost). I'd like to know, do you use a GPS for your training on your bike? BTW, you really are 'one tough dude' for running after having such a bad injury. Congrats, and hope you get healed up soon. Thanks for the excellent reviews!Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05753686220647282532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959150828995746582.post-55654392350390282982008-10-09T00:35:00.000-04:002008-10-09T00:35:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15611063606848336972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959150828995746582.post-24809107456934687152008-10-04T15:09:00.000-04:002008-10-04T15:09:00.000-04:00Hi KXUX,can you confirm or deny whether the RS800c...Hi KXUX,<BR/><BR/>can you confirm or deny whether the RS800cx can actually use the S3 for pace and the G3 for distance. The pdf manual is very vague - it talks about using the S3 for speed and the G3 for location - not quite the same thing. As a T6c user this would perhaps swing it for me to make a jump to the Polar.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4959150828995746582.post-71700862108520523182008-10-04T10:44:00.000-04:002008-10-04T10:44:00.000-04:00Hi Knux, Excellent Reviews for the Polar RS800cx. ...Hi Knux, <BR/>Excellent Reviews for the Polar RS800cx.
