I agree. I've noticed much better reception on the 305 than the
earlier models, and it finds the satellites and is ready to go much faster than
the older units.one word of minor complaint, however. The HRM receiver
inteh watch part of the 305 does not work with any of the Garmin earlier
untis. I was hoping to put the transmitter from the 301 on the saddle for
one horse, and the 305 on the other, and use the one receiver for both, but no
such luck, You need to set up the transmitter with the electrode wires for
the 305 and use the receiver for the 305, and use the transmitter and receiver
for the older units separately.
