Garmin Forerunner 305 GPS & Heart Rate Monitor

Product Description

Outdoor athletes and runners will love the features and benefits of the Garmin Forerunner 305 GPS unit. With instant access to real time information on speed, distance, heart rate and more it is a wearable information hub that will help you train smarter and more effectively.

The Forerunner 305 is easy to use and features a large, clear and easily read display. Slightly bigger than a sports watch, this device is more of a training tool than a time piece or even a GPS unit (although you get those benefits too). With a high-sensitivity SiRFstar III GPS receiver, the Forerunner 305 can track your location and help with mapping and routing. A simple map shows your location and any places ("waypoints") you have told it to find. When running in unfamiliar places, this feature can help you easily determine your location and get where you are going.

Of course, the Garmin Forerunner 305 was designed with training in mind. There are a number of useful data types that you can get information from in real time and the simplicity of the unit makes it a natural part of your exercise routine. You can learn all about your calories burned, distance, elevation, grade, and heading, heart rate and more. All of this information can also be tracked by the device for later download to a computer log.

Aside from simple tracking, the Forerunner 305 also has workouts available to help you train. You can select from Quick Workouts, Interval, and Advanced Workouts. If you are the competitive type, take advantage of the "virtual partner" function to compete with digital running or biking companions.

With the sheer amount of data available, you will be happy to know that the Garmin Foreunner 305 is very customizable. You can determine which information to show so that what is important to you is just a glance away. Using the unit is intuitive and the simple button interface makes it easy to access all of the features.

This unit comes with a docking cradle and mini usb port for connection to your computer. Once on the computer, you can save your logs and use the included Training Center software to chart your progress and fitness goals.
