Garmin Forerunner 310XT

Hi All

Looking at picking one of these up as I run too - Has anyone got any first hand experience using it on a bike, the reviews are good. My sister lives in USA, alot cheaper out there and I will get the cadence sensor aswell and get her to send it over - Will save me around £55 - Any feedback on the device would be great

I use a 305 on the bike sometimes.

dcrainmaker does ace reviews of all things GPS related.

I had one (now have a 910xt) and found it did everything needed (not as good swim metrics though so upgraded).
some may say the screen is small for the bike but I didn't find it a problem.
Customise the screen up to 4 items per screen and 3 or 4 screens (either scroll between screens manually or set to auto scroll slow, medium or fast)
Easy to change between activities (press and hold mode the select activity) multiple bikes as well.

No maps but has breadcrumb trail.

Create custom workouts (intervals and such)

Also easy multisport mode for brick/tri training, set in any order you want (bike to run, run to bike, run to bike to run to swim etc) includes transition at the touch of a button.

I would love a 910 but its a little out of my price range, breadcrumb trail is fine by me, I can live with that. Just read that review - It seemed to go on and on forever but some great information. Thanks

I trust you mean the DCrainmaker review
I only managed to upgrade because it was 30% off!!!!!

Yep the DCrainmaker review - He covered just about everything - I have now placed an order for one
