Forerunner 305 (i need to see coordinates!)

kisero · 05-22-2008, 5:56 AM

Hello,
I'm making a cycling trip and forerunner would be the perfect companion as long as i have some way to see my coordinates at all time (with the coordinates, i can use my blackberry to put them on google maps and see where i'm!)
does anyone know if there's a hack for it?
or any other alternative?
Cheers!!
thanks!

to the site!

None of the Forerunners show them as a data field out of the box. I don't know if there is anyway to force it.

Both the Edge 605 and 705 show the coordinates on their satellite page. Either of those would work for your bicycle trip. I don't know if you can get maps for the Edge of your area, but you would have the coordinate info to feed into your blackberry.

Some of the Forerunners will show you the current coordinates by marking the current location as a waypoint. But they aren't visible all the time.
