June 2nd, 2010

Garmin Forerunner

Forerunner 305 Garmin is a great hi-tech wrist-mounted device with two main functions, as a exercise tracking tool and as a GPS receiver. This watch-like device has a host of wonderful features, both in the side of hardware as well as software, making this device a useful companion for your outdoor training.

Forerunner 305 Garmin can gather many training data types in real-time. Strap it on your wrist and begin your training, may it be cycling, jogging, cross-country skiing or windsurfing, and you can quickly see critical workout parameters such as the distance, elevation, calories burned, heading, grade, multiple lap and pace modes. Combined with the bundled coded heartrate chest strap, Forerunner 305 is able to record your heartrate, lap heartrate, average heartrate, and heartrate zones. And if you have Garmin’s wireless cadence dan speed meter, Forerunner 305 will also be able to record bike performance data. All these information can be organized and shown on the device’s data screen. You can easily arrange the information you want to view, such as how much or how little to display, which information, even where you want the information to be shown on the screen. Therefore, with data so complete ready to view in real-time on that device right on your wrist, you can easily tweak your trainings to be more effective.

Beyond collecting dan showing data on the device’s screen, you can also connect Forerunner 305 Garmin to a PC. By way of the Training Center software and a USB cable bundled in the purchase, you can download your workout data from your Forerunner to your computer, and then you can process the data to produce many analytical information including various graphs for comparisons. This way you can conviniently view your fitness levels and better plan your exercises.

In the GPS department, Forerunner 305 Garmin features the SiRFstar III GPS receiver. This advanced GPS chip gives Forerunner 305 the ability to both track and maintain a lock on your position, even when you moving under trees or tall buildings. Furthermore, Forerunner 305 Garmin is also able to do simple mapping, waypoint marking, routing, and the “go to” function to trace your way to any location of your choice.

With so many advanced features, no wonder Forerunner 305 Garmin is the best wrist-mounted training companion and GPS device.
