It’s very user-friendly. What it isn’t, unfortunately, is accurate. As even after calibrating mine in the nerdiest way possible, it was still overestimating distances on long runs by up to 20%, thanks to the shortened stride you take when you’re really tired. So while I occasionally miss the Nike+ ‘Power Song’ feature, and even Paula Radcliffe’s dulcet tones congratulating me on a good run, I prefer the accuracy of RunKeeper. The GPS ensures that you’re never kidding yourself about the distance you’ve run, or the splits you ran over each mile. Sadly, once you’ve tried GPS, there’s no going back.
