suitable (ANT+Sport 2.4 GHz) power meter. It uses ANT+Sport as its
transmission protocol which is the same protocol as the current garmin
HRM strap and Saris (powertap) HRM strap. I think, but don't know for
sure, that the Polar CS600 uses ANT+Sport too, so you can use their
speed, cadence and power sensors if that's correct, but not the older
(S series, and cs100 & cs200) sensors.This one also is interesting :
and if you're curious about ANT+Sport :

Hmm, I have been using an Edge 305 since January. Looks like it's gonna be
retired for the fancy looking new unit! -
I wonder how much?

ProfTournesolNokia has the 6110 model mobile phone with GPS street finder on it that with
a $49 a month plan, you can get with no money down.....not a bad alternative
maybe.

a bad alternative maybe.We've bought a couple of N95 Nokias for work recently. They have all that
[censored] plus lots of other gizmos that you're probably never going to use. Only
drawback is that they cost $1250.Not for my use, I use a map.

DJI like the Virtual Race Partner feature on the 305. It's the most used
feature on my GPS. There's nothing harder than trying to break your PB.Dorfus

Yes but does Garmin have Australian maps available for the wondrous
device? Might be a while before they get round to it. I saw the
website said Europe and USA units available - I wonder if this means
they only have maps for those areas at the moment.--

Just keep in mind that when you are using TRANSFER, you are not
programming, but hacking. All else follows logically from this
