GARMIN Forerunner 305 |
Small wrist top GPS receiver with easy to read display, heart rate monitor and USB interface. Also well suited as bike computer.
As a personal training assistant, the GARMIN Forerunner 305 records the travelled path (track), your heart rate, distance, time and pace/speed, computes the calories burned and helps to achieve your personal workout goals. The device is very easy to use, supports multiple languages and has an extremely sensitive antenna. It is the perfect partner for any outdoor activities. The built-in USB interface supports data exchange with a PC.
The optional speed and cadence sensor
plus the mounting kit for handlebar make the Forerunner 305 also well suited as a bike computer.
The Forerunner 305 is especially well suited to provide information about your outdoor activities (track, speed, maximum speed, distance, elevation profile, time a.s.o.). Use the function "mark waypoint" to get the coordinates of the current location. The device also shows the current location in relation to user defined waypoints or a planned route.
All models provide similar functions; these are the main differences:
