Hi Zoom Zoom,

Most of us semi serious runners would not pay full retail price for the 305. Stores here in Melbourne generally sell them for just over AUD $350.00. That is steep by any ones language. I don't believe there is a specific 305 for the Aussie market, but I might make some enquiries.

Cheers/Theo

Hmmm...Garmin shows different versions for Aus. and Europe, as well as a French/English version, but I'm not sure how they would differ... Confused
click on "Versions"

Could be a language thing ... English, French, American, Australian.

Big grin

Just joking.

Yippee! My hubby got me the Garmin! Hasn't shown up in the mail yet, but he told me today that it's on the way (today's my b-day). I'm excited!

Yep, it came in the mail yesterday and I'm trying it out today after work! I haven't figured everything out yet (probably never will), but I'm just going to strap it on and go the first time.

Amazon still has the Garmin 205 for $149.99. This would be a great post-Christmas gift!
