I figure that's close enough. The biggest difference I ever saw on one lap was 6 meters, and I had run around someone hogging lane one. Most of the time, it's within 1-3 meters on a 400m track
All I can say is that I've used the 305 on 2 different tracks, one completely in the open and one squarish one with some buildings nearby, and both show me short about 80 meters/1600. If you're using it for a tempo run on a track, you can calibrate it and make the pacing adjustment (such as adding 10 secs. to what it says).
this is what gives Garmin owners a bad name - measuring your run on a track - duh! Do you measure your logs when you take a dump?
