The Forerunner 305 is a GPS-enabled personal trainer. Its features include: wireless heart rate monitor, multisport, high-sensitivity receiver, courses feature, advanced workouts, and rechargeable lithium-ion battery. I found this blog by GPS Runner that has some good information about the Forerunner 305 and using GPS for training.
One added bonus to this amazing watch is that it can be used for Geocaching. That’s right! You can go to www.geocaching.com and find Geocaching locations in your area and download the coordinates to your Forerunner 305. This is a pretty cool feature and a lot of fun, especially as a family. We’ve taken it out several times for “treasure hunting.” The first time was with my parents, who had never even heard of Geocaching and thought that our son must be mispronouncing the name. It worked really well and I know this is something that we will continue to do.
