The Garmin/GPS/Gadget Room

Hello,

Is you gadget confusing you?

Got any good links to cool software?

Wondering why it's making that odd noise?

Trying to link with friends?

This is the place for all your GPS talk, and questions.

For anyone thinking of buying a GPS (or upgrading the one that they already have), this site has some seriously detailed reviews: www.dcrainmaker.com/

A bit of software that's worth looking at for storing and analysing the data from your Garmin/other GPS: www.zonefivesoftware.com/sporttracks/ (Version 3 requires payment to get access to the full functionality (although there is a freeware version with usable but limited functionality), so I'm still using v2 - can download this from download.techworld.com/886/sporttracks-21/ )

For some annoying reason, my 305 always takes a lot of effort to upload to Garmin Connect. Does anyone else get the "Plugin not responding" message? It crashes my browser, and gets right on my giblets.
