Tomtom is supposed to last 10 hrs with gps - just got mine but not got it with me to look into more for (also don't really understand it yet).
Need to find out if I can upload info from watch/programme etc to Fetch.

Yes I suppose it would. Is the TomTom the unit you're going to use, or do you have alternatives?

I don't have alternatives yet but am open to them. I use a garmin normally but cant see that feature on any of their range so was looking at tom tom
I have just tried to phone them again to see if I get someone else and its a foreign call centre got passed around and still no answer. My Question doesn't match their list. They tell me the gps wont work indoor but I know that! I just want to speak to an English person who knows how the watch works!!

I rang my local sweatshop with regard to questions about the tomtom and they were very useful, seemed to know what they were talking about.

It's kind of the antithesis of most gps devices though - "let me tell you the distance" isn't what theyre all about. Maybe a swim-specific watch is more likely to do what you want - they'll be expecting not to measure the course, but still spit out the stats

Good plan mandy might try that!
mbkn I did look at swim watches, they don't seem to like lengths of 545m though!!
I know this is a v specific requirement I have! But in cold countries people do run on indoor tracks a lot

Could you set the garmin to show ave. lap pace, then have a 'decoder wheel' wrist band to equate that to pace/expected distance? Only way I can think of doing it. You could always ask mr gps watch - dcrainmaker, he's always full of ideas

Sorry I know this isn’t the purpose of this thread, but have any of you had an issue with the multi sport not finding GPS. It works after charging, but seems to not find anything after being used.
