Chip in 405?

[edit]

What's the model of the GPS chip in the new Forerunner 405? Anyone know?--169.233.102.41 (talk) 17:17, 15 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The 305 and 405 both use a SiRFstarIII according to http://www.goarticles.com/cgi-bin/showa.cgi?C=1649742 Could you work that into the article perhaps? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.29.83.91 (talk) 02:37, 19 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Additional functionality

[edit]

No mention of Heart Rate Monitor (HRM) strap. No mention of foot pod unit (for cadence, or distance when GPS unreliable). No mention of connection to bike speed/cadence unit. No mention that it's waterproof.

Coordinates

[edit]

The sentense "The watch uses the hh.mm.mmmm (hours, minutes, and minute decimals) coordinate format." should be changed to The watch uses the hh.mm.mmmm (DEGREES, minutes, and minute decimals) coordinate format. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.4.16.229 (talk) 10:20, 8 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Why does the timeline start in 2010? — Preceding unsigned comment added by -Deus Ex Machina- (talkcontribs) 07:50, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

965 vs 265 & 265S

[edit]

According to wikipedia table, the only advantage of 965 vs 265 is topographic maps.

I'm thinking about buying 265S, which is smallest and lightest of these 3 models. But it has no maps at all?

According to users especially in Finland / Europe, the Garmin topo maps are useless (they used to be better?), as more detailed topo maps can't be installed:
