Garmin Forerunner 305 Wrist-Mounted GPS Fitness Computer with Heart Rate Monitor

Garmin Forerunner 305 Wrist-Mounted GPS Fitness Computer with Heart Rate Monitor

Garmin 305

I bought this as a gift for a cousin who runs marathons. She has loved it! She said it will take some time to figure out everything she wants it to do because there is just so much it can do. She has been tracking her time/mile and heart rate and enjoys comparing from run to run on the computer.

Garmin GPS runner's log and watch

I bought these Garmins as birthday presents for my two daughters...... they are both overjoyed with the results and the increased motivation it gives to their outdoor activity, long distance runs and biking..... wish I had had this gadget when I could do some daily serious running, back in the seventies and eighties...

Garmin 305 - great product

I typically have used Polar heart rate monitors. However, they didn't do all of the things I was looking to do (like GPS, proper pacing, alerts), so I switched to this Garmin. What a difference!! Not to disparage the Polars because they too are a decent product, but the 305 is an amazing piece of equipment. Sure it does the usual things -- heart rate, time, laps, etc -- but it is the integration of alerts, pacing, direction (I'm never lost anymore) that makes it an absolute must-have training tool. I love this 305.

Great Product

This procut is great, I have made great use of all the features, the GPS reception is great anywhere, and it is more comfortable than it looks. The only drawback is battery life, I can get 2 workouts maximum on one charge.

Awesome

I've used this for about a month now and it is awesome! Having barely scratched the surface of all it has to offer in the way of training tools I find it to be indispensable for my running/biking. My wife has a Garmin Forerunner 101 that she used to love, she now covets this...lol We both start our watches at the same time and the 305 beats the 101 every time(by a long stretch)in locking onto the satellites. Heart rate monitor seems to be very accurate, it has occasional "brain farts" but then settles right back to where my normal heart rate is as tested the old school way (two fingers on the artery). I am thrilled I waited to purcahse as with the release of the new Garmin the price on the 305 plummeted.

Garmin A/C Power Cable for nüvi Portable GPS Navigators (010-10723-00)

Garmin A/C Power Cable for nüvi Portable GPS Navigators (010-10723-00)

You really don't need the A/C Power Charger

You really don't need the A/C Power Charger because when in car, it charges with D/C (cable included with Garmin) and when plugged into PC, it cahrges as well. I used the D/C charger only once."

corkie/eire

Went on holiday to east of USA,hired car and bought Garmin 270 through amazon.I was worried before purchase about smalller sized screen,alas the screen was perfect.The GPS was user friendly,very reliable and pocket sized for carrying when not in car. The features like the restaurents,hotels,petrol icons on screen made my holiday very enjoyable as I did not know the area on holiday.My family could relax when returning to hotel at night when dark.Overall brillant device.I believe maps are about 18 months old,so one occasion a petrol station was no longer in that location.I could not say enough positive things about garmin.Excellant.

Works as designed

There are times that you don't want to charge the gps in your car or you might use it on foot, well here's your solution. Charge your gps in home then become the road warrior or path finder. It works great and serves it's purpose well.

very good

Garmin AC Adapt via USB port w/UK/EUROthe item arrived on time,in good condition and as advertised.

Does the job

Works fine, allow my Nuvi 760 to be used while charging, instead of going into USB mode. One thing I have learned by chance is that when you use a standard USB cable to connect to a computer, you can get it to go into non-USB mode like the charger, but it's not always straightforward. I've done it by disconnecting, then reconnecting the cable after a few seconds - I guess it gets confused.

Garmin 2009 City Navigator NT North America Map Update for Garmin GPS Units, DVD (010-10989-01)

Garmin 2009 City Navigator NT North America Map Update for Garmin GPS Units, DVD (010-10989-01)

Dont Waste your Time or Money

The 2009 update purchased for my Nuvi 260 wiped out all of my data and maps, and then produced a popup error indicating the application had failed when attempting to load new map data. I tried multiple computers and different usb cables. Wasted hours only to render a previously working gps unit inoperable. I can't believe that as mature as this market should be by now that Garmin cannot produce a simple map upgrade that works.

Jerry Mountjoy

Took quite a while to install, as others have noted, but didn't lose any previously saved data. Just completed a 5,000+ mile trip throughout the West and Mid-West. Each morning we plugged in our day's destination(s) and let Nuvi lead the way. It worked wonderfully with a few minor exceptions. We need to learn how to exclude back country dirt roads because several times it guided us to those. Oh, and Tucson AZ's central freeway offramps have been closed for about a year and are expected to be closed for another 18 months, but the new map info didn't pick that up and didn't offer alternates. Since we were looking for a specific destination there, we ended up buying a map at a gas station. Even so, Nuvi saved us a lot of headaches. It was well worth having. The one thing I can't say for sure is the level of improvement over last year's maps, since I didn't use them for this same trip last year.

Garmin 2009 City Navigator Update Map for Nuvi 670

The map has been updated so that "Jill" gives better directions in some cases; however, we have noticed some definite glaring errors. As we were driving back from Las Vegas yesterday, Jill told us to get off the I-15, follow the freeway on a road that ran parallel to it, and then get back on the I-15 less than a mile away. We, of course, did not follow her directions since we knew the interstate was where we wanted to be and it was clear, but what about someone who doesn't know the area? All in all, however, we are happy with the map and love the Garmin Nuvi 670.

the new disk update

everything loaded up ok and the gps seems to run well,but on the first try out the gps lead me to a dead end street and then said to turn left where the turn was obviously taken out a few years ago.I turned back and the gps then found a new route that was correct.I have a c530, a great machine but the memory was too small to accomodate the entire update, I had too choose one of 4 limited choices. My thoughts?,everything works but with disapointments along the way.

Garmin 550 Zumo upgrade

The upgrade went very smoothly. Drop the CD in and follow the prompts, with your Zumo connected. It takes a long time. I wasn't timing it but I think it was well over an hour. I think that's just an artifact of the Garmin containing full maps of the U.S... which is one of the nice things about the Garmin, i.e. not having to load different map modules if you are traveling over a wide range of states. My only dissatisfaction was that for an upgrade, I thought it a bit pricey, but the maps were very complete. It contained maps of areas that were relatively new and not on the previous release I had. Good product though pricey.

Garmin Carrying Case for nüvi 660 Portable GPS Navigator (010-10823-01)

Garmin Carrying Case for nüvi 660 Portable GPS Navigator (010-10823-01)

DOES NOT FIT

THE 660 GPS WOULD NOT FIT IN CASE. VERY CHEAP CASE FOR THAT PRICE. I WOULD SEND IT BACK BUT I HAD TO OPEN IT TO FIND OUT IT DIDN'T FIT. NO RETURNS IF YOU OPEN IT.BE CAREFUL ABOUT THIS ONE.

Garmin Nuvi 750 GPS Carrying Case

Case is very well made of soft leather and well fitted to the Nuvi. Due to the location of the On/Off switch, one must ensure that the switch end of the GPS is inserted first into the case. Otherwise, due to the snug, custom fit of the case, the switch will move to the "On" position, and you will not know it.

Garmin Case

The case was bought as a present for my husband as well, he doesn't use it much, but I got it just in case.

Perfect for the Garmin 650

Bought this with the Garmin 650 (which doesn't come with a case). The case is very tight the first couple of times you use it, but it gets better over a short period of time. The GPS won't slip out and it provides decent protection for the screen and unit itself. Be sure to slide the 650 in with the power button first, as this will prevent accidentially turning it on when you go to remove it.

Don't buy this - it comes with one!

Don't waste you money on this. I bought one by mistake, and the process to return it seemed so onerous that I just ate the unnecessary cost. If you are buying a Garmin GPS, it comes with an identical case IN THE BOX ALREADY.
