Hopefully I'm not repeating anyone (I scanned the reviews and didn't see this). There is now a Mac OS X version of Training Center. It is compatible with: Forerunner 301, Forerunner 205, Forerunner 305, Edge® 205, Edge 305, Edge 605, and Edge 705 [.].
I am quite new to running and this is my first GPS device. I am just a jogger and have never been good at judging my own speed; now I can tell where I am at all times and adjust according to my own goals for that run. It tracks through foliage just fine and only "lost" me for a few seconds at a time in heavy trees.This equipment is so helpful in training for any level of run, from my little slow 5Ks to top marathon runners. It's small and light, you don't notice you're wearing it. Don't think you have to be an elite runner to deserve one, it will improve your time and your fitness no matter where you're starting. The displays are easy to read and programming it is intuitive, though the manual is simple and helpful if you need it. I just got it last night and have only done 1 run with it, so I can't comment on its longevity, but at this moment I can't ever imagine running without one again. You can save your courses and run them against "yourself" as the Garmin remembers previous runs on the same course to compare on the fly.
How wonderful to, in a single glance, see my running time, pace and distance. You can customize the display to show a variety of other measurements as well, such as best pace, average pace, speed (current, average and best), laps, etc. Anyone will benefit from the accuracy and simplicity of this device. Buy it, or if you want the heart monitor to go with it, buy the 305.
I am a long-time runner training for my first marathon. I bought this device for accuracy on the long runs and it's pretty easy to set up and use. I also wear it when biking to get overall distance. The price was very good for this dual-purpose device and I'm very happy with it.
I bought this GPS to help me train for a marathon. Knowing my pace was a huge difference in helping me run longer distances. The watch seems very accurate and is simple to use and configure to your liking. I love it
I loved this watch it does everything. it works great. I can't believe i waited so long to get one. It is the perfect thing to get any runner.
