Title: How Is Your Garmin Setup ? Post by: Scott Zincone on September 19, 2007, 09:15:18 pm I received a Garmin 305 for my birthday last May. I just started using it for running on September 1st. I was curious how other people have set their's up to benifit them the most. Here are my settings: autolap - every mile. display - time of run, distance, & last mile split.

I go with mile autolap, and then total time, distance, current pace, and average lap pace for my standard view. I have alternative configurations that I can scroll to (since you can have three configurations). One has lap time instead of overall time, so I use that for interval workouts. Another setting lets me quickly access the elevation and average pace for the entire run. For races, I force it to only show overall time and lap time, so that I don't get distracted by all the other numbers.
Title: Re: How Is Your Garmin Setup ? Post by: Cody Draper on September 20, 2007, 08:17:23 am I have the 305. I set it up to have Ave Pace, Total Time, Current HR, Total Distance on the main screen. Another screen is geared towards tempo workouts with lap pace, lap time, lap HR and lap distance. I set it up to autolap every mile. On some races, I turn off the auto lap (TOU was one), but only if I can trust the mile markers.

My display: Elapsed time, Current Heart Rate, Total Distance When running on unmarked courses or in a race, I set auto lap on every quarter. Title: Re: How Is Your Garmin Setup ? Post by: James Winzenz on September 20, 2007, 08:14:38 pm I have the 205. I also have a few different configurations, but the standard one I use is Time (top two screens), Pace (bottom left) and Distance (bottom right). The other one I have used in the past is time, lap pace, distance and average pace. I love my Garmin.

Title: Re: How Is Your Garmin Setup ? Post by: James Winzenz on September 24, 2007, 11:57:52 am I forgot to mention that I currently have autolap set up for every mile. When I ran the Provo Riverwoods 10-miler, I set up the autolap for every 1/4 mile so that I could keep on top of my splits. I am still not sure if I am going to leave my autolap at 1 mile or go down to 1/4 miles for St. George - I am not sure I want to hear 104 beeps while I am running . . . ;D
