Is it me or my ghetto installations renders inaccurate results?

This is a good idea. I’ve found that the transmitter works best when the most of the motion is along its long axis, making the bottom of your foot the best position for it.

I made a slight modification to your method that makes it a bit more comfortable. I go through a lot of shoes, and always get the same kind (Asic Kayano). I generally have a retired pair or two laying around, so I pulled the insole out of an old shoe and made the cut in that. I used it to replace the insole in the new shoe, and placed the transmitter as you have done. Finally, I placed the new insole over the whole works. The shoe fits a little tighter, but I can’t feel the transmitter at all anymore.

Summary:

(1) – Pull the insole out of an old shoe.
(2) – Make a cut as shown above.
(3) – Remove the insole from one your current shoes
(4) – Place the insole with the cutout in your current shoe, along with the transmitter.
(5) – Lay the original (new) insole on top.

I did the same thing with Asics. I was dissappointed in the accuracy & wondering if my ghetto installation had anything to do with it.
in a 7.5 mile run, the Ipod recorded 5.9 miles. As for speed I was clocking 7 minute miles between known mile markers with the IPOD giving me 8 plus minute miles. Any other feed back on accuracy? I never calibrated the unit, but did not expect it to be this far off!
