 Garmin's latest-generation line of personal
fitness trainers
is the
Forerunner 305 which combines all of the popular
features of the previous Forerunner 301
with a high-sensitivity GPS
receiver, new course features, and
robust ANT wireless heart rate monitor for optimal performance.
Designed for athletes of all levels, this
running partner/personal trainer monitors your heart rate, speed, distance, pace and
calories burned so you can train smarter, more effectively. It tracks
your every move with a super-sensitive GPS that even works on
tree-covered trails and near tall buildings. Receive a detailed
post-workout analysis on the PC with included

better reception during training
- High-sensitivity GPS receiver with

tall buildings
- Robust ANT
wireless heart rate monitor with softer, more comfortable chest

12 data fields on 3 data screens for immediate feedback on the
information you need most when training
- Multi-sport™ capability lets you
seamlessly transition between sports without resetting the unit, so

Foot Pod Accessory
-
New! Train indoors and still track your
distance, pace and calories burned with the optional
Foot
Pod accessory. This wireless sensor attaches to your running shoe
and transmits distance and pace data to your Forerunner 305 for those
times when GPS reception is unavailable.
Cycling Cadence Accessory
- Monitor your pedaling cadence as you ride with
the purchase of the GSC
10. Like the heart rate monitor, this self-calibrating, wireless
speed/cadence sensor uses the same robust ANT wireless technology to
reliably measure and report your pedaling strokes per minute.
Garmin Training Center Software

Helps
you tailor workouts to meet specific goals and objectives. Create your
own workouts or use workout templates included on the CD. Interactive
analysis tools let you chart performance overlaid on a map.
