The foot pod is relatively cheap (got mine for $15, not including the iPhone I already had - for pricing) and is accurate to within 1/100th of a mile (even better if you choose to calibrate the system). It also enables the input of your weight and outputs data for calories and the such. But referring to your question, there may be no clear advantage when compared to a state of the art GPS tracking device. The big thing is that you can listen to music if you desire, or you can simply choose not to deal with earphones and forget the music.
