Garmin Forerunner 405 Wireless GPS-Enabled Sports Watch with USB ANT Stick and Heart Rate Monitor (Black) Review
The Power Of Location-Based Data
Anyone who has used Garmin's Forerunner 205 or 305 already understands the power that attaching location data to traditional measurements like distance, speed, time, calories burned, and heart rate can provide. Knowing exactly where you worked hardest, ran fastest (or most slowly), and lets you tailor your workouts to improve for specific distances, conditions, and types of terrain. It gives a complete picture of how you interact with every portion of your run.

Watch Results
Loaded with serious training features, Forerunner 405 continuously monitors your time, distance, pace, calories and heart rate (when paired with heart rate monitor). Each run is stored in memory so you can review and analyze the data to see how you've improved.
The high-sensitivity GPS receiver sustains satellite reception, whether you’re tackling a trail or jogging through the urban canyons of skyscrapers. The Forerunner 405 is water-resistant (IPX7) and can be used outdoors or indoors (with an optional foot pod), making it the ultimate year-round, all-weather training tool.

Forerunner 405 is available with or without a heart rate monitor (see the versions tab) to help you make the most out of your training. Versions with a digital heart rate monitor continuously track heart beats per minute. Train in a certain heart rate zone to improve your fitness level or compare your pace and heart rate to past performance on the same run.
The revolutionary patent-pending touch bezel on the face of the watch makes navigating the options easier than ever. Simply by tapping, holding or running a finger along the bezel, runners can begin a new workout, access their training history or challenge a Virtual Partner. The Forerunner 405 makes training with a Virtual Partner easy and efficient. Runners can adjust the Virtual Partner’s pace without stopping in the middle of a workout, and the Virtual Partner is always on and ready for a challenge.
Run, Sync, Store and Share
One of Garmin's most ambitious decisions has been to approach fitness devices as a total platform with their "ANT + Sport" connectivity system. All of Garmin's new fitness devices, including the Forerunner 405, Edge 605 and 705 bike computers, and Forerunner 50 heart rate monitor watches, will interface wirelessly with any devices that are compatible wiht the "ANT + Sport" protocol, including devices from other manufacturers.
Once you’ve logged the miles, the ANT + Sport wireless technology automatically transfers data to your computer when the Forerunner is in range. No cables, no hookups. The data’s just there, ready for you to analyze, categorize and share through Garmin's online community, Garmin Connect or optional Garmin Training Center software. You can wirelessly send workouts from your computer to Forerunner, too.
Share Wirelessly
With Forerunner 405 you can share your locations, advanced workouts and courses wirelessly with other Forerunner 405 users. Now you can send your favorite workout to your buddy to try, or compete against a friend's recorded course. Sharing data is easy. Just select "transfer" to send your information to nearby units.
Cross-Train
Take your training inside with the versatile Forerunner 405. Pair it with an optional foot pod to track your speed, distance and running cadence indoors when a GPS signal is unavailable. This new design clips onto your laces for easy removal and automatically turns on when you start moving. You can also add a speed/cadence bike sensor to track the speed and distance of your cycling workouts.
Be Part of A Community
Garmin acquired Motion-based, the largest shared repository of customer-generated gps-based routes, courses and maps. This was a significant move for Garmin to support the gps user community and bring a wealth of route options to gps users. With a simple connection to your computer, you can join a worldwide network of cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts through Garmin Connect our new, one-stop site for data analysis an sharing.
You can also upload to optional Garmin Training Center software for further analysis. Garmin Training Center stores large quanities of workout and ride data. Some of the things you can do are:

Lowrance M68C S/Map 3.5-Inch Waterproof Fishfinder Review
If you're looking for a system that can not only take you to your favorite fishing spots, but help you catch more fish than ever before, the M68C is for you. The FishReveal, FishTrack, and Advanced Fish Symbol I.D. features offer several options that can make your fishing expeditions more fun and productive. You can also rely on the shallow, deep, zone, and fish alarms to guide you, or incorporate other Lowrance transducer options for versatile, all-season portable fish finding.
Powerful and reliable, the M68C offers true 800 watts peak-to-peak transmit power, while the innovative 200 KHz, bullet-shaped transducer produces up to 60 degrees of coverage area using high sensitivity technology. Because it features a full 12-parallel channel GPS with selectable WAAS reception, you can trust this system to deliver accurate information. For added convenience, the mega-memory saves up to 1,000 waypoints, 1,000 event markers, and 100 routes (up to 100 waypoints per route). You can also take advantage of 42 graphic icons to mark important spots, 40 map ranges (0.02 to 4,000 miles) with easy zoom in and out control, and 100 savable plots trails with up to 10,000 points per trail. And thanks to the internal back-up memory, you won't have to worry about losing stored sonar settings and GPS data--all important information will remain accessible for years to come. Finally, to help make sure you get exactly where you wish to go, the M68C provides off course, arrival, and anchor alarms as well as a trip calculator, sun/moon calendar and even a man overboard feature to help ensure the safety of all passengers.
The M68C comes with a full one-year warranty. The Lowrance M68C S/MAP combines a portable sonar with GPS navigation and provides depth penetration up to 600 feet. Find fish in dazzling color thanks to the high-detail hydrographic mapping covering lakes, rivers, the Great Lakes, and U.S. coastal waters; a full-screen and split-zoom color LCD flasher display with Colorline; and the bright, 3.5-inch diagonal active matrix TFT transreflective LCD, which offers impressive 320 x 240 resolution. Tough enough to handle even the coldest of climates, the M68C features a battery status indicator that displays continuous readouts of battery life, so you won't have to worry about running out of power in the middle of your trip. And thanks to the white LED backlighting for the screen and keypad, you won't have to worry about night or low-light conditions compromising your ability to read important navigation information.
