One of our favorite ways to track mileage is by wearing a GPS running watch. These systems work by tracking the location of devices here on earth, which is ideal for runners, cyclists and swimmers who all want to know how far they’re going.
Both systems provide the same type of satellite navigation as GPS. Two other major satellite networks exist apart from GPS: Russia’s GLONASS and the European Union’s Galileo. GPS stands for the U.S.-owned Global Positioning System that uses a network of satellites to provide positioning, navigation and timing.
Using a GPS tracking device is the easiest and most convenient way to find out how far you ran.
