Garmin Forerunner 305 GPS
Poor Navigational Tool

While the Forerunner 305 may be quite useful for training, it does not have many features that make it useful for navigation. The 305 lacks a display of latitude and longitude. The only way to see your current GPS coordinates is to set a way point. It would be nice to be able to change the display of the coordinates. It only shows the lat/long in minutes/seconds, not in decimal or UTM. Also, it would be nice to be able to see topo lines on the map display, or to be able to upload small sections of top maps from their software.
