Polar G5 GPS Sensor
The new Polar G5 GPS sensor works with all Polar RCX5 watch units and provides users with geo-cached data for mapping to Google Earth along with accurate speed and distance information broadcast to the wrist unit.
After you have paired the G5 Sensor unit with the Polar RCX5 watch you can begin to record speed and distance along with mapping data while participating in any sport outdoors. This is must have kit for any outdoor athlete who is serious about creating a correlation between pacing and heart rate data to improve their athletic performance.
Various Mounting Solutions
We have experimented with the G5 and a host of different mounting solutions. While the G5 comes with a armband, which we found just fine for cycling, we know many runners and others may not like the armband solution. We have positioned the G5 in a hydration pack and secured it to the tool kit under the bikes saddle. Both locations provided continuous signal and GPS data in our testing.
Data Output
Download all of your data to Polar personal trainer where you can see all of your heart rate data, speed, distance and even mapping.
Accuracy
We found the GPS sensor to be within 2/10ths of one mile of the bike speed sensor over a 38 mile loop which is a very small margin of error. We would therefore be plenty comfortable with the idea of using the GPS to get speed and distance data for any sort outdoors given the small margin of error.
