Got my Forerunner 305 today. Enjoyment soon took a dive when after 10 mins playing with it at the kitchen table it seems it can't display the current position in OSGB grid format.
Is this correct, and if so, how does this GPS help if lost in clag on the tops? I'm hoping I've missed something obvious, as this has not been raised before...
Apart from that it seems great
'fraid you're right. What you've bought is a training gps as distinct from a navigational gps. It has some navigational functionality but not much TBH.
You can use it to retrace your exact route back to start, or do a B line back to start (need to be careful of drops). See the 76 page manual for more details (a copy is on the Garmin site). You can also mark points on regular routes as you go along (e.g. trig on Knowl Hill) so that if the clag comes down you can navigate to that point. It also gives long and lat if you mark your current location and has a compass built in.
Biriani for endurance, pathia for speed.
duh! I never even thought to check it would give me my current position in OSGB.
This won't suit me, so it's now for sale if anyone wants one? GBP169 plus postage and it's yours...
Anyone got any suggestions for something that is like a 305, but will give OSGB?
Dosen't the E-trex do Os stuff??
