Tracking Mileage....

I got a polar HRM a few months ago and I love it! Can't go a workout with it. Now I want something that will track my mileage when I am running outside. I saw that Nike makes a sport band that keeps track of mileage and it a pretty cheap price compared to garmin. What do you use and have found effective?

    I also use mapmyrun.com

    I have the Nike+ sportsband, but it wasn't all that accurate. Good enough, but now that I wear my HRM, I don't want to wear a second watch. Especially since I can just pre-map a path online.

    Someday though, I want to bust out the big bucks for this:

    I use a Garmin 310xt. it is pretty pricey but it is worth it to me I love looking at all the data after a workout. I used mapmyrun on my iphone and the only problem I had was battery life. My phone would only last about 1.5 hours. My garmin lasts 20 hours and is waterproof.

    Garmin 305. You can get them off Ebay anywhere from $125 to $175 and well worth the money.
