Product Description
-------------------
Just when you thought Garmin had cornered the market on
powerful, affordable, and effective wrist-ed GPS devices,
here comes the Forerunner 305. The release of this device is a
major achievement from a design and technology perspective. This
isn't just marketing-speak; the Forerunner 305 is the most
accurate, most reliable wrist-ed performance and GPS
tracking tool we've ever tested. Yes, it's that good. While no
device this compact can do everything (yet), the 305 pushes the
boundaries of what is possible from something strapped around
your wrist.Train indoors and still track your distance, pace and
calories burned with the optional foot pod. This wireless sensor
attaches to your running shoe and transmits distance and pace
data to your Forerunner 305 so you can still use it when GPS
reception is unavailable.

.com Product Description The successor to the Garmin Forerunner
301 is here, and it's better than ever. Weighing in at just over
2.5 ounces, the Garmin Forerunner 305 breaks new ground in terms
of comfort, style, and performance. Totally redesigned, the 305
gives outdoor athletes and runners real-time information about
speed, distance, pace, and heart rate on a device that's easy to
use and amazingly compact.
The Forerunner 305 features the powerful new SiRF GPS navigation
chip for supreme accuracy, even under tree cover and between tall
buildings. A coded chest strap heart-rate monitor prevents
unwanted interference from other devices. View larger (

The unit's GPS receiver is designed to face towards the sky when
you're running.
A more watch-like design makes it far easier to use and wear.
Plus, the 305 is engineered to help folks train better and
smarter. Training assistant tools, various distance and time
alerts, and bundled Training Center PC software combine to make
the device an essential part of any athlete's training program.
The 305's digitally coded heart-rate monitor--which is worn as a
chest strap--sends heart-rate data to the device so you can see
whether you're training too hard or not hard enough. Alerts for
pace, distance, time, and heart rate are also available.
Additionally, the unit tracks speed, distance, pace, and calories
burned. Meanwhile, a course feature lets you race against
previous runs in order to improve your time or just compare heart
rate and pace data at every point of the way.
The 305's easy-to-read, 1.3-inch display has been integrated into
a sleek and stylish form factor that is definitely a step up from
the larger and more cumbersome Forerunner 301 model. Indeed, the
305 looks and wears like a stylish sports watch, and it's more
carefully designed to meet the needs of athletes. The design also
positions the antenna with an optimal view of the sky. As an
added feature, the case is water resistant to IEC 60529 IPX7
standards (can be submerged in one meter of water for 30
minutes).
Accuracy is the name of the game with the 305. The vastly more
accurate GPS antenna and receiver, which uses an advanced SiRF
chip, offer much faster satellite acquisition times. Plus, the
unit can hold a fix in places never before possible. Gone are the
days of losing a fix under tree cover or when running between
tall buildings. All of these features add up to far more accuracy
in and tracking your exercise data. And because the 305
uses GPS to track how far and how fast you're going, you never
have to calibrate it. The unit also doubles as a basic navigator.
Mark your starting point as a specific location, see your current
position on the plotter display, and follow an electronic
breadcrumb trail back to your starting point.
The 305 features a USB data connection and docking cradle for
downloading your speed, lap, exercise time, and heart-rate data
into Garmin's Training Center PC software. The unit stores up to
1,000 lap histories, which you can download to your PC for a
detailed post-workout analysis. Plus, you can create and schedule
workouts using the included software and download them to the
unit. A rechargeable internal lithium-ion battery offers up to
ten hours of battery life.
For additional post-workout analysis, the 305 is compatible with
MotionBased software. MotionBased adds a new dimension to
training and outdoor fitness that makes the analytical aspects of
a sport more compelling and a lot more fun. You can upload data
to MotionBased, a Web-based application that has partnered with
Garmin. MotionBased provides in-depth analysis of your workouts,
as well as online ping and route sharing that will take your
training to the next level. MotionBased automatically calculates
time, distance, speed, elevation, and heart rate, and it displays
this information through meaningful charts, illustrations,
reports, and s. With MotionBased, you can also race multiple
instances of the same route to see how you are improving or to
race other members of MotionBased. You can "virtually race"
someone you don't even know.
