Garmin Forerunner 305 Calorie Counter Not Working: Does anyone know how I can fix this problem?
48501
The 305 doesn't calculate calorie consumption based on heart rate. It used distance traveled, weight and age in a similar way that a treadmill does. You can run inside on a treadmill using the footpod accessory, which calculates distance without the use of the GPS. (similar to the Nike product). The footpod works very well and will give you your desired results. This is clearly stated on the Garmin site within the features of the product.

Hey guys, thanks for the info. I have the same problem with mine, but the user delete suggestion did not do the trick. Am waiting for an email reply from Garmin Custumer service on next steps. Thanks anyway though.

Cheryl, Have you to sync the heart rate monitor to your fitness device. Once sync'd it will work and display hr

1st , check battery. 2nd, attempt a 'sync' connection by holding down both top & bottom right side buttons. The screen should change & flash 'sync' for a few sec before coming back to the original screen. It may take a few minutes of the heart rate numbers to flash '0' before registering your rate. Be patient. It may take a few attempts of this, several few minutes sessions, before it does sync. 3rd, make sure you're placing the strap on device fairly high , say nipple high, & squarely where your chest should 'concaves' btwn the nipples...

I have the same problem, and have tried the sensor in virtually every orientation and virtually touching the crank mounted magnet on each rotation. Nothing has worked so far. A customer service rep from Wahoo has suggested swapping out the battery (apparently they can cut out a single function if they are low), and or resetting the network settings on my iPhone. I have yet to try this...was just looking here to see what battery to get. Mine is brand new and the other functions, including the heart-rate monitor, all work just fine. Only the cadence is missing.

Wow, this is bad news indeed. There might be a way out of this. Try a hard reset (the directions should be in the quick start manual, as the reset may be different between Nuvi's). If you can't find it, try holding the bottom right corner of the screen when powering in on to see if that works. Of course, if the hard reset fails to solve your problem, exchange your unit.

Same thing here. After their troubleshooting instructions (or anything I could find online) didn't work, they suggested that their crappy firmware update just "brought out some pre-existing hardware fault," and then wanted $75 to fix it. No, thank you.Don't buy a Garmin, they will just try to explain away their own mistakes.

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.

Thanks for the update, dsrussell. I'll take your advice and check out the review of the 765 that you mentioned at gpsmagazine.com. It's too bad that the folks at Garmin didn't include this info about the 765 in their owners manual. Must have been an oversight on their end. Again,thanks a bunch!

Thanks, DS. Garmin's reply to me was that i must be using a non-Garmin charger. I'm using the charger that came in the box! This thing is brand new. I just let them know that and I'll post back with their reply.

Instructions suggest that you call Garmin and tell them your problem. Hopefully they will be able to put a fix in.

I sent mine back as I could not reset it. Also because it would not accurately count my steps. Sorry.

I cannot get my TICKR to pair to the treadmills at my gym either. Unless theres a solution I'm sending mine back.

Try updating the OS first with Garmin's WebUpdater which is found on their website under Support&gt;updates/downloads. Prior to downloading the WebUpdater, if you click on "show all updates/downloads" you can see what the latest firmware version is for your 580. Good luck!

I don't know,you try to send an email to Garmin support, but I think is a problem with the glass of watch.

Hi, I'm having the same problem but after using it for few months. Not sure what to do now. Do you know if I should contact Garmin or Amazon?
