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... 
click on "Versions"

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

Heh, I was in the highlands of Scotland in the early 90s and was amazed by how LITTLE of the "language" I understood...heh.

| 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! |
