Does the 310 xt show elevation, as the 305 does?

Well, it does, but its measurement method must be different, as it shows much less elevation change than the 305 over identical routes

I do a lot of mountain running & hiking & I own a Casio Pathfinder (Triple Sensor) which does have barometric altimeter readings, so were I to purchase the Garmin 305 (which seems likely at this point) I would be using them in tandem. Of course I could not upload the real time data from the pathfinder into any of the websites mentioned, but my question is this (and I hope this is not too tangential to the Garmin 305 discussion) - does anyone have any information on the accuracy of the Pathfinders altitude accuracy?

no it doesn't. I forget what the manual says, but I'm guessing the high is around 300d

Hello S_P. I own this Jolly Logic AltimeterOne. Before each flight, you press the red button to zero out the display. The Altitude displayed after you retrieve your model is in reference from where you launched it, not sea level. I love this handy little altimeter. I hope this helps.

Yes. There is a path near my house that's shown. It is also very good with altitude. This past fall I climbed the two highest peaks in CONUS (Mt Whitney and Elbert). Mt Whitney is officially 14,505 and I checked the pic I took and my GPS had it at 14,506.

If you're interested in Elevation related data, I would not recommend buying the Forerunner 305. I have been through multiple devices and many discussions with Tech support who basically informed me that this function (along with the calorie functions) are useless on the Forerunner 305. Apparently, it is Garmin's GPS based elevation data which is not as accurate as the barometric data reported by other devices. This was a surprise to me as I had thought the opposite would have been true. Unfortunately not. I run/ride exclusively in the mountains and I'm very dissapointed to say the least. The standard speed, distance, time, and heart rate functions all work fine. Hope this helps. If you're interested in Elevation related data, I would not recommend buying the Forerunner 305.

You can tell the RoadMate 3030-LM to display Elevation on the main page, as well as speed, time, direction, eta, time remaining. You can select the item you want always displayed on the screen by touching that option from the pop up. These display options are only available when you are in a trip navigate mode. Otherwise, only Elevation, Time, Speed, and direction are available.The only place that I think Longitude/Latitude is displayed is from the Menu and you select Current Location, and there you will see your current Lon/Lat co-ordinates

Thanks for your detailed insights. From your post and others I've read, seems like I'll stick with the 305. I am very happy with the accuracy and ease of use, I just need to find some way to make it not rub my wrist so much. And the only other thing, and this is minor, is that it does not calculate calories expended unless you are using the GPS. I would think they could make an estimate when you are using the footpod indoors, but they don't. (The Polar R200sd does do this.)Maybe they will get the kinks worked out of the 405 sometime and I'll think about it then. Until then, I guess it doesn't pay to be an early adopter.

Yes, there is an elevation indicator on the screen "on demand" along with time, direction, and distance to destination and time to go.

The 310 should have space in front of the 50s in the standard 210 base, the 410 upgrade comes with its own base. Some bowflex models cannot be upgraded.

One does and one does not... There are two different ones. One I believe has the TBA in the model number, and it is a bit more expensive than the one without. The TBA model does compensate for elevation. But, its primarily used for bow hunting in a tree stand. I don't know how accurate it would be in a rifle application at long distances as mine has only been used to bow hunt.

Yes. The elevation follows topo lines just like a regular topographical map. Also when you drag your cursor or set a waypoint it will have a drop-down box with elevation and other useful information.

yes it is, however it does not give accurate elevation yardage. I am not happy with it for that reason. It is however accurate to straight line yardage.

yep - i agree - i ALMOST ordered it last night...glad I didn't. even more interesting will be the price they'll have when it's offered by amazon direct - i am still trying to decide between the 765T and the 265 WT, which, by the way has become 7 bucks cheaper than last night !!!MediaHub - i feel like we will both end up with a good in-car nav - let's keep in touch here and try to make a good decision. www.gpsrmagazine.com has a great review/analysis of 265WT and 765T...

Forerunner 305 doesn't have a barometric altimeter, but it's still able to "approximate" the elevation/grade. As CompExpert mentioned, it does do the job, but it's flaky. If elevation/grade matters to you a lot you're better off with the Edge unit that has a barometric altimeter; however you won't be able to wear the Edge on your wrist.

Not formally that I know of but I have tried to used my 300 with the TX 20 EIII and I have seen a fall off in my quality of image.

I believe a friend of mine did what you are trying to do. However, I never owned a 310 so I can't say for sure. Sorry.
