My Forerunner 305 just died and I need something new...Is there any Garmin Product that does not require uploading all my health data to Garmin?

I believe TrainingPeaks WKO+ will do this. The Garmin 910xt is on the supported list.

The Garmin 910xt needs your Gender, age, weight and height to better calculate calorie expenditure. You do not need to connect to Garmin Connect in order to use your device.

You don't need to connect to Garmin Connect to USE the watch, but you do if you want to access your activity data. Previous Forerunner versions allowed you to download the data from the watch to Garmin's Training software on your computer, without uploading it to Garmin. With the 910XT the .FIT files (activity data) will NOT be transfered to your computer unless it is first uploaded to Garmin Connect.

Interesting question. I would guess, probably, but contact Garmin directly on their website. I'm betting that is another market they might want to look into, even if it doesn't work.

Thanks so much. My old Garmin has very limited memory so I have to change what part of the country is stored before I head out on a trip -- very annoying. I can use Sprint Navigator on my phone, so maybe that will be my choice and good-bye Garmin.

I would say the best answer would be from Garmin direct. But if its a close friend or family member you could easily get the updates.Once that person connects to Garmin it probably would update without any problem.

Actually, you can do this. It uploads to Garmin Connect where you can view, and manage your results and you can share these on Facebook, Twitter, email, Google+ and many other social networks.

I think most stores will have the older version in stock. You might get the newer version by ordering it directly from Garmin (more expensive). I've been corresponding with Garmin, trying to get a commitment for a free upgrade if I buy it today. NO ANSWER YET!!You should hit them with the same exact request:techsupp@garmin.com

There are two versions of the Garmin edge 810 (one confess with a heart rate monitor/strap, the other doesn't). If you buy just the GPS unit, you can always by the heart rate monitor separately afterwards.

Thanks!!!! I recently had the same "disconnected" problem; Garmin support took me through an upgrade and I was fixed for about a week before it returned. Since I didn't have a chnce to contact them during Support hours, I went online, and your excerpt from the longer fix above worked for me, too!! Just hope it stays fixed this time.

Then it has probably died. That is what happened to mine. Garmin wants $80 bucks to analyze . Not worth it!

I have a 255, 255w's smaller brother with identical features, and have been using it for over a year. I love it, but once you get your free map update online, you have to buy future updates fron Garmin at hefty prices. It is cheaper to buy a new unit than pay for lifetime updates($119). A onetime update is @ $60. Though I love my 255, it's a pretty stiff toll. I'm thinking of trying something different, because there has been some new road construction near me, and my current maps don't always suit.

Interesting! I am looking at buying the 405 without the strap, as I still have the one from my now stolen 305.The Garmin support website says that some versions of the 405 are compatible with the HR monitor. How can you tell if the one you are buying is compatible? Or is it just a trick to make you buy the more expensive version?

after unsuccessfully trying to get the"ant" to connect, I thought I had it. come to find out that instead of adding my sync data, the Garmin update lost MONTHS of data. as soon as I finish typing I am removing the garmin band and will never buy Garmin again. I do have a UP band that is working and I have the new one on order..

Hello, According to Garmin's customer service, I was told that the older models such as mine, The G2, were no longer being serviced. I also discovered that I had a model that was considered "obsolete". The newer models use a version of Blue Chart cards that are SD-friendly, and mine used the non-SD card, so I had to search for the older non SD-card online. I finally found one that worked on my Blue Chart through Amazon.com. E bay also had the same card-chips, but they were a bit more expensive. I hope this information has helped you, and good luck!

Sir/Ma'am I found the Zephyr HXM after a search of several different websites trying to find a solution to Garmins excessive HR spikes and drop outs. I have a droid type phone so I never searched for a Iphone solution. I see that Zephyer has a website here: http://www.zephyr-technology.com/forum/#/ This might be a better place to find the answer to your question. I am still very happy with my HR sensor; now if only Garmin would choose to use something as advanced as this sensor with their product line.

It should work see https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/into-sports/discontinued/forerunner-405cx/prod31859.html (it is a possible option shown by Garmin)

I agree-have been in the market for a new GPS for awhile now. Really do not need one [my Garmin 350 still does the job]. I like some of the newer features on the 1300 series-see such mixed reviews!! Model numbers should be mandatory when submitting a review so the customer can differentiate between units.
