Garmin Training Center Map Feature and Google Earth
The Garmin Training Center software that comes with the Forerunner 305 is pretty good. You can categorize the workouts you uploaded by the type of activity (running, bicycling, other), you can customize workouts and courses (haven't tried it yet), and look at all of it on a map.
The problem with the map feature is that it sucks. I can understand why, however. If it were really good, the software would have to be much larger, plus--and probably more importantly--Garmin decided that they can't compete with Google Earth and Google Maps. And so the good news is that, you can right-click on any of your recorded workouts in Training Center and choose "View xxx in Google Earth".
The map is obviously much more detailed and as far as I can tell, the Forerunner 305 is very accurate, only occasionally missing my route by a feet or two.
Total: 2.75mi Run
