| It's a bit early, but I've been thinking about getting a garmin forerunner 305 to map out my distances. I'm heading off to Belgium this summer and won't have access to a computer often to figure out my routes. Does Garmin work in other countries? |

Garmins use the US navigational satellites.
I assume that we have a pretty thorough coverage of the planet and would be surprised if they don't work abroad. I've only used mine once, though, and haven't left the country with it yet. |

I am now officially an older guy. Don't believe me? Ask Teresa's DS15. |

| I used mine easily and perfectly in Amsterdam, so Belgium should be fine. |

Hi
Garmin uses the GPS satellite system which is a global system ... it will work anywhere on the planet where it can see the sky, If you travel more than a few hundred miles from your normal place of running it may take a few minutes to 'lock onto satellites' but it will get there eventually. I have a 205 and it has so far worked in UK, all of Europe (inc Belgium), USA, Mexico, Japan, Australia etc.
So, in short, no worries!
