Maybe my next Garmin (if I'm able to hit the roads again) will be a 305! :-)Lesley Looperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03764967611620715096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5162997883019077328.post-46402424005777475942012-07-12T16:51:41.487-07:002012-07-12T16:51:41.487-07:00For us runners, Garmin has been behaving like most...For us runners, Garmin has been behaving like most shoe manufactures. They keep changing the thing we've grown to like. I personally think the 305 was pretty close to perfection. Admittedly, my wrist is a bit bigger, so no complaints there. I suppose if they did not continue to "improve" they would go out of business. I just sense a disconnect between what the consumer wants and what the company plans to do. Oh well, great post non the less.

Just click on the "Connecting to satellites" screen and tell the watch that you wish to continue in in-doors mode and you are ready to browse your history and anything else you like.<br /><br />You remaining grievances are all relevant and really annoying.Lars Gregersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08376348578112956196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5162997883019077328.post-73008331504934455882012-07-06T19:30:34.215-07:002012-07-06T19:30:34.215-07:00I love my 305, yes its big, bulky and it really is...I love my 305, yes its big, bulky and it really is ugly, orange is my least fave colour but its a great piece of technology.<br /><br />Christina question, are you running Ragnar NY in September?

Never had anything different but the price is right (got mine with HRM from Costco for $99 --I haven't seen that deal repeated in the last three years).
