Title: Doesn't work in the shade!
Review: I received a Forerunner 201 for my birthday in August. I have used it about a dozen times with worthless results. It only registered accurately on one run and that was when I altered my course to run in the open (in the hot sun). It is very easily tripped up by any shade which is where people should be running. Hopefully, this will improve when the leaves fall.Also, I was disappointed by the computer interface which only works with a COM port. These have been obsolete for years and an adapter to a USB port is quite pricey. Garmin shouldn't be selling obsolete technology. Even my older computer bought four years ago doesn't have a COM port.If you are interested in buying one of these, I would suggest you find somebody in your area who uses one to see if ir works with your local topography. If you like running in the woods, forget about it.
