Digital camera reviews of Garmin Edge 305 Waterproof Cycling GPS With Heart Rate Monitor
Digital camera Review: big improvement over 205
Summary: 4 Stars
this unit is great, especially for the price that amazon offers. key additional features relative to 205 are autopause and barometric altimeter. heart rate monitor is fun too. definitely worth the extra money. Would give top marks for service also. The unit started behaving erratically about 90 days after purchase. I sent a note to amazon support, got a quick response with contact info for garmin support, sent a note to them and received a quick response with simple, clear instructions to reinstall the units firmware. works great again.Digital camera Review: device might be nice but garmin customer service lacking

I recently purchased the Edge 305 package (hr monitor & cadence). One of the features that interested me was the altimeter which unfortunately didn't work - kept registering 65000 ft. I checked the firmware which was up to date and then called Garmin. Was left on hold for about 15 minutes, before receiving assistance. The rep was helpful until we determined that the unit was defective and needed to be returned. Garmin wants me to pay for shipping which I could sort of accept if this was an inexpensive device, which it's not. I've had it less than a week, it doesn't work, so I'm at a loss to understand why I need to pay to have it replaced. I'll be taking it back to Target for a refund, and will no longer do business with Garmin.Digital camera Review: excellent partner for your rides

At the beginning the HR sensor didn't work, I had to install a new battery in the chest band to make it work. Besides that little problem, the installation was very simple.
I've used the edge 305HR for a month. Excellent partner. For improved accuracy I applied the latest firmware and also upgraded the Training Center Software.
It does what is supposed to do. The time, speed and distance alarms are good features for training.
Digital camera Review: garmin 305 for mac, almost
Summary: 4 Stars
Great gizmo, except for that you can't update firmware from a Mac (yet). It should be noted that the GPS software on the device is a little old, (it was purchased 3/07) but seems to work just fine. I'm not sure what the newer versions provide. The device works as advertised.Digital camera Review: garmin edge 305
