Im downloaded hollybar to somewhere on my pc then done a search for it, then was getting some repair it message. is there an easy way to do this ;-( or am I just thick? Don't answer that.........

geordiegirl Mar 2008 4:07pm, 24 Mar 2008 10 posts	geordiegirl Hi all I'm thinking of buying a garmin but confused by the 301 to 305 as they both have HRM's. Is the price difference worth it? I have seen the 301 for £69.95, the 305 for £125. Thanks for any advice

geordiegirl Mar 2008 4:12pm, 25 Mar 2008 11 posts	geordiegirl Thanks for the advice guys, the 305 it is then. I have found a 2nd hand one on ebay, is it worth buying 2nd hand or is it better to get a new one which will obviously have full warranty?

Badger Mar 2008 2:40pm, 26 Mar 2008 1,151 posts	Badger HOD: you can't make the tiny display that's permanently on any bigger, but you can customise the display pages and show the heart rate the same size as things like time/pace if that's any help? Or am I just pointing out the bleedin' obvious but unhelpful here? Geordiegirl, with the price 305s are now it might be worth stretching for a new one. Mine's been utterly reliable but some folks have had repeated problems...

Select which page you want to change (on mine it is the second 'screen') Then select the number of data fields you want to see: in your case 1 (to get the biggest available display)
