Endomondo on the phone is doing my head in,big style.Too many inaccurate readings, system pausing, affected by weather conditions, so on so forth blah, blah,blah.
So thinking maybe get a proper GPS i cn use for biking, running ect.
What do the great unwashed masses of Single track recommend?
I have a Edge 705 for roadie use and a Dakota 20 for walking /MTB. Both do their job really well. If I was going for just one now, I'd likely opt for a Edge 800.
What do you want it for? Just recording routes/info? Or Navigating? And heart rate / cadence etc?

Alternatively, try Strava and Nike+ GPS. I like both. Adidas do a running app, too - not tried it, but a friend swears by it.
couldashouldawoulda : Mostly for recording routes/ info although HR & cadence would be usefull
I use 'Trail' magazines world renowned routes for navigation.lol
Well for running and biking a Forerunner is great. Wear on wrist or quick switch to bar mounted.
I've a few Forerunner 305's. Old tech really - but great at everything apart from navigating. About £100. Newer versions are available.
#Edit - That £100 includes a HRM. Cadence is about £35 extra. Navigation is "breadcrumb trail" stuff - I used it a few times - not ideal but useful for new routes. It's a big watch for running though.
For MTbiking I can't fault my Satmap, full OS mapping on a decent size screen.
For running, I recommend the Forerunner 110. Its a fair bit smaller and lighter than the older models. There is a version with heart rate. It is a bit basic - it will record the route, but is not much use for navigation.
For cycling, I would go for something like the eTrex or Dakota. Add some free maps, and its rather useful for navigating. The eTrex 30 or Dakota 20 will work with heart rate / cadence sensors.
