Don’t use GPS based workouts on a cruise ship...

I knew this would happen, but, an FYI for others: doing an outdoor workout with the watch on a moving cruise ship will not give you accurate distances. Either that, or I broke the record for a mile this morning...

Just curious if you really expected a different outcome?

Read my first sentence again; I knew this would happen. This was one of two days that I ran while the ship was moving.

On a related note, using indoor run, the distance tracked was almost exactly correct. It was within a few yards for each mile run on a measured track.
