Garmin Edge 305 Question

[SadieKate]

Ooh, tres kewl news.

I own a Forerunner with HRM. I just bought the Edge with cadence.

According to the Garmin web site and some sleuthing on motionbased, I can pair the Edge with the same HRM strap.

In spite of my own ignorance, I lucked into something good.

so SadieKate-
Is this the one that you ordered? http://www.amazon.com/Garmin-305CAD-...6084594&sr=8-4

And then you are just going to use the heart rate strap from your Forerunner?

Hmm.... I have a Forerunner 305, and I like it a lot, but have been tempted by the Edge also... and at that price with the $75 rebate it seems too good to be true! Might have to spend a bit more $$......

Yep, that is it.

I have a Forerunner 305 with cadence and hrm. I am happy with it. I use it for relative comparison of my own performance and don't worry about absolute data. I use a polar hrm bike mount to mount the FR on my road bike. I wear it on my wrist when on the mtb. I use it for skiing, etc.

Garmin is not very Mac friendly. To track my workouts, I use Ascent.

There is also a Garmin beta version of gps unit software updater. You will need to search the garmin site. It worked for me.

Best of geekiness,

Once again, I've caved into TE peer pressure.

My Garmin Edge 305 arrives some time next week.
