[RC] one more and then I will shut up, I promise - Robert R

If I wanted a heart monitor that isn't integral to the gps but just carry an extra gadget directly for that purpose, are they any brands you would recommend.  In looking at the 305 from Garmin, I can't tell just who "good" of a unit it is.  Can maps be download?  Can waypoints be entered pre-ride from a topo map?  Will it chirp when I am passing a certain distance towards an entered waypoint?  With the 10 hour battery life, I'd have to carry a spare set with me all the time on a longer ride but some of the others (Etrex and a few more) have 25 hour battery life  So know I am a bit beginning to think two separate gizmos may be a simpler solution.  What do you think.
