2Software kills meAug 05, 2010
What I like: manual stop/start, per lap statistics, integration of features.
What bugs me 1: The speed reading can't seem to decide if it's using GPS or the speed sensor. Demotivating when you're pushing yourself and in some trees and the speed shows at least half of what you know you're doing.
What bugs me 2: Altimeter seems off and there is no way to calibrate it that I can find. Perhaps it's just how altimeters work, but often it shows me at -200 feet. I suppose the most important piece is that it shows the change in altitude correctly.
What is going to make me dump it: Very regularly I go to import the ride data into my PC and it says it's imported successfully, but the data never shows. And is gone from the device. Lost forever. I've lost data from big rides that I was very eager to see. Huge bummer. Rebooting seems to help. But I don't want to have to reboot my pc every time I ride.

1very disappointing productMay 08, 2010
I've found this bike computer disappointing and frustrating to use ever since I bought it a year and a half ago, and I've finally tossed it - no need to try to fix it since it never operated satisfactorily out of the box, and I don't want to foist it on someone else via the 2nd hand market. If it only did what it says it does, I'd be happy - but at best it provides only approximate data readouts that jump around from one moment to the next, and at worst it just quits. It functions well only at constant speeds on level ground, but once you start climbing, the speed and angle of climb readouts constantly jump around and are almost useless. And the heart rate monitor is finicky - works most of the time but can also jump around to 3/2 or double your actual rate. Recently it has been turning itself off in the middle of rides - quite exasperating since I time myself over a regular challenging route. Needless to say, it's a poor value for the high cost. This is my 3rd Garmin GPS, and it is definitely my last.

1A Piece of JunkMar 31, 2010
The screen went totally blue after less than 3 months of use. I had to pay to ship it back to get a refurbished item with less than the original warranty and they wouldn't ship the new one until they received the old one. The refurbished one won't have the warranty that the original unit had. I have one other Garmin, which I have discovered by using other devices, is cumbersome to use. I would highly recommend avoiding this product in particular, and Garmin in general.

1Be warned - do not touch this productJan 19, 2010
You have been warned - by all means buy a Garmin 305 today, but don't complain later.

This is a worthless, unreliable piece of junk at a top-line price. The web is full of complaints about them crashing, hanging, not turning back on, not taking a charge, failing repeatedly and unexpectedly during rides and generally making a good skipping stone for the river, if you happen to be riding near one. Some people are on their fourth and fifth unit with the same problem. Garmin is not helping or even acknowledging this problem on their website. Google "Garmin 305 problem" and see for yourself.

Unfortunately this piece of trash was a Christmas present (new and unopened) and so I will have to deal through the person who gave it to me - very unpleasant. It also meant I couldn't do my research. You, though, have been warned - do not under any circumstances waste your money on this. Garmin products have become unreliable.

And when you are on the road with any kind of outdoor product - slick features are nice, but reliability is EVERYTHING. This product is not only bad but dangerous. Try stopping suddenly on a ride if you doubt that.
