The middle range offering in the Forerunner product line, The Garmin Forerunner 305 is a level above the 205 with regard for its available functions. The 305 includes the 205’s internal GPS receiver, and also contains a wrist-mounted antenna for additional reception and signal strength. This feature strengthens the satellite signal and decreases the probability that you will lose the signal if you should pass under dense foliage while cycling or running. In contrast to competing systems that involve an external GPS to be worn separately, the integrated GPS of the Garmin 305 Forerunner offers an extraordinary convenience to the user. The Forerunner 305 offers a plus over the lower priced 205, as it comes with a good heart rate monitor, that augments the distance, pace, and elevation data that you receive during your workout. Discover how you’re doing once you’re done by uploading your progress to software on your home computer.
