    As for the heart rate monitor feature, I have tried many different brands and only few of them are reliable (remember that this thing must measure tiny voltage changes through your skin). A good HRM is expensive and I would not trust an HRM from a GPS company (even if they are the best GPS company in the world), unless they tell me that they have a partnership with a good HRM company

     

    Tha Forerunner 301 used Cardiosport Fusion heart belt.

    Help...gps V

    I had that problem with my GPS III (same body type). The fix for me was take the antenna off and make sure the underlying nut was tight. When the nut loosens, the antenna mount backs into the unit and grounds out, effectively rendering the antenna useless.

     

    Hope that helps since it's an easy fix.

    it is fine to transfer moltiple tipes of maps on to your gps. you will nead to pick all the maps that you you wanton the unit and transfer then at one time. after you tranfer them, on the map page push menu, then scrole down to setup map, press enter. that will bring upa list of the maps that you transferd on to the unit(you can only see one of the map pices at a time in the list)then press minu agine, that will bring up a miny that will let you choose what tipe of map that you want to the unit to display. the uit will only display one at a time. I recomend that you tell it to show none then tell it what one that you want.

     

    EDIT

    If you mean microsoft streets and trips it wont transfer to a garmin gps
