garmin stuff
hi xc62701 :
for $250 you are getting good deal, i like garmin, but i like polar too & delorme
that being said i like to buy a companys most recent products for various reasons
until recently garmin edge 305 worked okay w/motion based but not garmin's own website. they claim the edge 305 gonna work some day
for me an aspiring triathlete, i too a look at garmin forreunner 405 at $350, has mixed reviews, i am sure i can collect data from my bike rides and runs, but indoor swimmwing will be useless? and try mapping a topology on the little screen, some review complained about toggeling through the different screams was a night mere
the edge 305 is good, but i recommend leaving it on one bike,
i went crazy and bought extra cadence sensors, and tried carring it around on runs, and i ended up dropping it on cement. anoter cyclist complained to me that he had problems with his (edge 305) staying charged since day 1
now i have been using the edge 305 on my trainer to look at hr and cadence, but the guy the originated this thread was looking for advice on a gps in da woods, so my review is not favorable for naviagting with the garnin, but you can look at your ride if you make it home okay.
so what do i do, when i am cycling at night in ringwood, niterider light Minewt dual dies (on hi ) after 1.5 hours, then the helmet niterider goes blank after 3 hours, i am left with a broken garmin telling me i am going south, and its snowing , but i hope i can get to cannonball run and make it down to route 17 before dawn, but my cadence is 120 rpm and hr is 180
