Garmin 405 CX Accuracy: The mileage varies on both 5.57 vs. 5.8 and 13.37 vs. 13.71.

I ran with my Garmin405CX just yesterday on a route that I know is almost exactly 3.1 miles. I've driven it and checked the odometer. I've walked it and counted paces with a pedometer. I've mapped it on Google and Yahoo to the same results. The 405CX absolutely nailed it. If it's an accuracy problem, I'd suspect it is related to location or satellite interference of some kind.

Don't know, mine was defective upon arrival, so I returned it and bought a Garmin---much better! Don't waste your money on this item.

I'm not sure, but if you go to the Garmin website, you can download the manual and it should have the answer.

I just updated from 1.3 to 1.5.0 for the firmware. Garmin has it's own separate version number.

It's a nice feature but it is inaccurate in the mileage dept. I found that there are better options out there. When I tried to correct the hos to actual time it wouldn't let me and said that nothing could be changed in it.

Yes - the speed/cadence sensor is compatible with the 405CX: https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/into-sports/discontinued/forerunner-405cx/prod31859.html

I am using the 2013 version. It updates the road conditions each time I use it on "Road Planning." I have used previous versions of 2000, 2006 and 2009. I am using the 2013 version on the desk top and the 2013 version with the GPS receiver on the laptop.

That is the mistake I made.... older model 205/305 will work on Garminconnect in May. The 405 is not slated for support until Q3 of 2008. You only find this out after purchasing and downloading the software. For now I am using Fusion (same as Parallels). Also, keep an eye on runnerplus. They are very close to supporting Garmin and have a very robust site.

I can't imagine that the answer from Garmin makes any sense. Further a 2009 map on one device should show the same details and POIs that another (760) running 2009 has. Mine came today with 2009 maps and 3.x software. I've now upgraded to 4.2 There were other updates also made to the traffic receiver, GPS (MediaTek) chipset and BT version.

From GPSLodge.com (http://www.gpslodge.com/archives/012909.php): "In comparing the RINO 530HCx vs. the Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx, the basic features are the same, but the RINO adds a lot of capability with the FRS and GMRS radio feature. The basis is essentially the GPSMAP 60CSx series, with rubberized buttons, GPS and radio antennas out the top, and a rocker button on the front that acts as a mouse to move around the screen and select options. The rocker switch is smaller than the 60CSx in order to accommodate the speaker on the front side of the unit." According to this forum, (http://gpsinformation.biz/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=18174&sid;=034fae17be4127378a0718f0ab4523e0) the receivers are basically the same.

Yes it does. I have measured a certain distance by car then ran the same route and the Garmin 10 is correct. I love mine for a few different reasons. I am so glad my friend shared information about hers. Well spent money.

No experience with Garmin Glo. Accuracy is related with time. I believe both BT-Q818XT can operate at 10 Hz, like Garmin Glo. I am happy with my Qstarz, love the battery life. Check out the battery life on Glo??

I live in Houston which is totally flat. The altitude readings are not accurate enough to reflect the 10 ft changes up and down as I run. However, I used my 305 on runs in the CA mountains and the altitude readings were surprisingly accurate. Using the latitude and longitude location data I compared the altitude to topographical maps and they were spot on.

I have a Garmin 1260t for almost 2 years, I have not been any problem with it, 1250 is a similar model, it is a good one, but I do not know about 350.

Hi, If you have an Ipod Nano you can try the very cheap, in comparison with GPS, Nike+ Sportkit. Once you calibrate it, it is very accurate. All my runs (same route) about 8km only vary on +/- 100m.Hope that helps a little bit.

I purchased a Magellan 4250about two months ago, after having a Garmin 2610 for about 4 years. The updating of the vehicle icon is jerky and you can pass a street before the unit will show you at the intersection. There is a upgrade (2.36) for the 4250 that is suppose to correct this problem but does not. The Magellan service contacts are off shore and you may have trouble talking with them. You may want to try a 4250 prior to buying.
