Garmin is generally considered to be the best choice of GPS for runners and its top-end Forerunner 305 shows why. An SDM with HRM, the 305's many useful features include a virtual training partner and mapping function...Though the most bulky model on test(becasue it's a single unit wrist-top GPS), it was comfortable and it had the advantage of a big, easily readable display. Like most GPS units it stuggled to find a signal in central london but outside town it was up and running in seconds.
It's simple to navigate round the functions and the display can be customised. Some early glitches such as inaccurate calorie counter, have been fixed with downloadable software updates. In all, it's easy to see why people love this SDM.
The speed and distance features are fantastic - it can store your best times on a circuit so you can "virtually" race yourself next time; it lers you waymark routes so you don't become lost; you can program and store interval sessions on the watch; store 1000 laps worth of data; and download your runs to your PC and overlay them on mapping websites.
A combination of accurate GPS speed and distance monitor and heart-rate monitor, the Garmin 305 is possibly the ultimate running gadget available.
The ultimate success of GPS training systems lies in the accuracy and reliability of the data they collect. Inuse, the advanced sensitivity of the 305 was obvious. In an historically poor signal area it aquired the sattelite links within a couple of minutes, while the 301 taken along struggled gamely for several more minutes before gaining a "weak GPS signal" warning. Once locked on, the 305 never lost its signal, even on a heavily tree-lined route with a limited view of the sky. Garmin has added to the myriad of training methods already available on previous models. Of specific interset are the "Multi-Sport workouts"which allow you to monitor and capture-specific data, including transitions, whilst still monitoring the overall time and distance of your session or race. The customisable display allowing you to focus on your chosen information for each sport. The 305 also includes a chest strap to monitor your heart rate...
One of the most feature-laden personal trainers available, but aqt this price ensure you're buying it as a serious trainer tool reather than a gadget
Garmin is famous for its GPS know-how and the Forerunner 305 makes the most of this expertise to track accurately the distance you run, rather than helping you find your way home. It has a heart rate monitor and features that help you compete against your own previous workouts or train against a previous partner, if you find that more motivationg. It's also comfy to wear and easy to read.
