Digital camera reviews of Garmin Indoor Foot Pod Accessory for Forerunner 305
Digital camera Review: A nice accessory for the Forerunner
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this to accompany my Forerunner 305. I was training for a marathon in Phoenix in January so I did a lot of training indoors since I live in Utah. It was easy to get synced with my Forerunner, and I haven't had to replace the battery in the Foot Pod yet. My only issue is with calibrating it. I tried to calibrate it using the distance reading on the treadmill, but it seemed to vary from treadmill to treadmill. This could be due to inaccuracies in the treadmills sensors. It would be nice if it had a feature to auto calibrate it using the GPS in tandem with the accelerometers in the Foot Pod, instead of having to enter a calibration constant in manually. Still a great piece of equipment.Digital camera Review: Expense bandaid for bad software and website

I own the Garmin 405 with HRM. It is beyond me why anyone would be happy with buying a foot pod. The correct answer is for Garmin to allow manual entries and the editing of data on Garmin Connect and Training Center. This deficiency means that if you are running, biking, or working out indoors you are forced to pay $100 to log your workout.
Oh - and if you complete an "indoor cardio" workout like biking that doesn't involve any impact then the foot pod will not work and you still can not log your workout.
The 405 is a solid product, the Garmin Connect and Training Center are buggy and deficient, and the foot pod is a complete rip off. Open a Garmin Connect account for yourself and prepare to be underwhelmed.

Digital camera Review: FANTASTIC Garmin Foot Pod for the Forerunner #305
Summary: 5 Stars
The Garmin Indoor Foot Pod Accessory for Forerunner 305 is one of the best things I've gotten in a long time. Now when I'm on the treadmill, it gives me the ability to get the correct MPH and distance and also, it allows me to keep track and chart it on my computer!!! A lot of treadmills speed up and slow down at random, this Foot Pod allows me to be percise. This pod is WONDERFUL both on the treadmill and exercising outside!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT!!!

I'm using this Footpod with my Forerunner 305 which I purchased at the same time. This was a great investment as I run indoors now with winter in full force.
The only complaint I have about the footpod is the size, it would be nice if it were smaller, but when I'm running I don't even know it is there.

The item was delivered promptly and preforms as described. The only downside I have for it is it would be nice if there was a quick way to get the pod off of my shoe when I don't need it. I switch back and forth between running indoors and out so I don't need it constantly on my shoe. But other than that it is sturdy and works right out of the box. I would by another when the time comes.
