It should. Them satellites cover the world. Well, unless you are planning to run through Barbados' complex system of tunnels. Edited to add: wait, a running cruise?!? Now THAT sounds cool! Have fun.

Yes. MTA but the maps tend to have less detail. MATA: http://connect.garmin.com/activity/390107 Hey, that Player thingy is pretty cool!

Please please please. While the cruise ship is moving through the ocean, go run some 5-10 laps around the ship's deck, then upload the tracks to motionbased and post the activity link here. I am dying to see how that would look on a map...

I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

Oops

Janie, today I quit my job. And then I told my boss to go f*** himself, and then I blackmailed him for almost sixty thousand dollars. Pass the asparagus.
