GPS and Running


I used a small Qstarz BT-Q1300ST (from Semsons)to data log when I run. I find that this sensor is particularly sensitive to vibration when running and gives all sorts of funny results with altitude and speed.

I have found it sensitive to positioning with the best location being under my cap of all places. Other places I have tried have been connected to my HRM strap but I have worried about exposure to water ingress from my sweat. I have used it on my bike where I mount it in my seat bag and get fairly repeatable but I think consistently wrong altitude traces.

I need to get a handle on this sensors accuracy.
