Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Is the export course to Garmin function working for anyone here? When I try it, it just saves a 0kb routes-export.php file.

My garmin 305 has stopped beeping :-(
I've read this is due to sweat getting in - are there any known solutions.
I bought it Dec-09 so probably out of guarantee now.

Nope, unfortunately not; there's an image On The Net somewhere showing a dead, corroded beeper from a dismantled 305. It would need repairing by Garmin; your options are to live with it or to get Garmin to trade it in for a reconditioned one, which is about £50-60. Annoying, that flat rate, when what's wrong is pretty trivial.
The guarantee's 12 months so yes it will have expired.

This may be a weird question but...JammyLu`s 305 makes a "ringing" noise when it autolaps at every mile. Mine makes a beep...although, it does the same "ringing" thing at the first mile only then beeps thereafter. Any ideas why there`s a difference?

Mine makes a sort of ringing noise.

One of the tips in the article suggests putting insulation tape over the speaker holes - perhaps this is why!!!

beeps for count downs to end of 'laps'
ringing for end of preset period i.e when you are not running to a program yet it alerts you every mile.

* this may or may not be accurate.

There are two ways of getting it to beep every mile: using autolap, and using alerts. They produce different noises. If you do both, you get both noises. I can't remember which noise is which, I'm afraid.
