Car Rentals Now Offer GPS Units

GPS technology was originally invented for military use. However, over the years and with the advances made, the GPS navigational device has made its way into athletic sports. While the technology has been utilized in running and biking for some time, it is now being used in some sports that may surprise you. Many athletes have started using GPS sports technology in skating, skiing, distance swimming, and even windsurfing!

Garmin has introduced the Garmin Forefunner designed primarily for runners, and the Garmin Edge for bicyclists. These units are incredibly accurate alternatives to the standard heart monitors and pedometers used in the past by athletes, trainers and coaches.

Many are using GPS sports technology to track time and distance when performing long, open-water swims. There is also an obvious safety component in using a GPS when one is in a wide expanse of ocean all alone! In addition, by using a GPS to navigate, swimmers can maintain a straight-line course and can better stay on track.

Does anyone own the Garmin edge 205? ?

Sep 08, 2008 by Hardcore | Posted in Cycling

I don't think the 205 has an altimeter. I know the 305 has one (they share the same manual, so the manual makes it seem it has one). My 205 is able to tell alt. only by maps that are loaded in off my computer. So if I map a course on "mapmyride.com" or similar, I can then export the map as a garmin file, and add it to the Garmin using their Training software. Then sync, etc. THEN the 205 will display altitude based off of the map data for that specific data point.
The 305 has the added internal Alt that compliments the map data.
