This product is not only bad but dangerous. You, though, have been warned - do not under any circumstances waste your money on this.
The web is full of complaints about them crashing, hanging, not turning back on, not taking a charge, failing repeatedly and unexpectedly during rides and generally making a good skipping stone for the river, if you happen to be riding near one. Some people are on their fourth and fifth unit with the same problem.
You have been warned - by all means buy a Garmin 305 today, but don't complain later.This is a worthless, unreliable piece of junk at a top-line price. It also meant I couldn't do my research.
Garmin is not helping or even acknowledging this problem on their website. Google "Garmin 305 problem" and see for yourself.Unfortunately this piece of trash was a Christmas present (new and unopened) and so I will have to deal through the person who gave it to me - very unpleasant.
Garmin products have become unreliable.And when you are on the road with any kind of outdoor product - slick features are nice, but reliability is EVERYTHING. Try stopping suddenly on a ride if you doubt that.
Very nice equipment to take with you on bycicle rides. It makes the training much more fun.
This is such a great product as I'm now able to view multiple data about my bike rides.took me a bit longer to setup the cadence sensor and I needed to figure out the distance from the crank to the rear, once that was solved works like charm.I only wish that the accesories that came to install on my bike were removable as I'm sure when I end up upgrading my bike I'll have to buy new accesories to fit the cadence sensors and bike mount. oh well.
Excelente calidad y precio, instalación algo dificil, pero duradera. El producto es fácil de usar.Excellent quality and price, difficult to install, but durable. The product is easy to use.
The best feature is the ability to map your ride to Google earth - it appears to be extremely accurate - within 2 or 3 feet. When mapped to Google earth you will be able to click on points of your ride to see exactly how fast you were going, cadence, heart rate, etc. for that exact point in time. The only problem i have seen is that if you press on the unit in a particular manner it will shut off.
