Garmin Forerunner 305 Software Version 2.70 Released

Yesterday, Garmin released an update to the unit software for the Forerunner 305. Version 2.70 fixes several problems detailed below and is vital to getting the most out of your high-performance personal GPS trainer.
Further details and a download link can be found on the Garmin web site.
The 305 gives outdoor athletes and runners real-time information about speed, distance, pace, and heart rate on a device that’s easy to use and amazingly compact. It’s a key component in helping me train smarter and better.
Changes made from version 2.60 to 2.70:
- Updated translations.
- Added Slovakian and Slovenian languages.
- Fixed problem that would occasionally cause GPS Chipset version to go to 0.00 when updating from some computers.
- Fixed problem where scheduled workouts could appear on the wrong day in some time zones.
- Fixed problem where the select sport pop-up box would not go away if selecting the same sport as before.
- Fixed problem where the zones type pop-up box on the heart rate zones setup page would not go away if selecting the same setting as before or pressing the mode key.
- Fixed problem where the history for the current sport was sometimes not displayed correctly when creating a course.
- Fixed problem where a quick workout could be created with a distance that exceeds the maximum allowed distance of 40 miles or 64.37 km.
