♪♫ ♪♫ Synge ♪♫ ♪♫ Sep 2018 4:21pm, 24 Sep 2018 25,571 posts	0 ♪♫ ♪♫ Synge ♪♫ ♪♫ A quick thank you to all of you who answered my questions or otherwise commented a couple of weeks ago. I bought a 235 and have been delighted with it. It picks up a GPS signal much more quickly than my old 310XT and the training/race upload via phone is just what I wanted. It looks as if the battery life is going to be quite spectacular too. I have configured the main screen to show four different fields in a 1-2-1 formation and they are easy enough to read on the move. (Now I need to read the manual and work out how to stop it sending me whatsapp messages and other such stuff that I like to escape from while running!)
Ripcurl Running Jan 2019 6:25pm, 15 Jan 2019 2,970 posts	0 Ripcurl Running I am just starting to run again and have an old 205 I am looking to purchase a 235 but I only have an iPad and iPhone. Can my runs still be uploaded to fetch without a laptop? I have read the above post and presume this is possible? Do you just use the Garmin Connect App? Thanks

chunkywizard Jan 2019 7:12am, 18 Jan 2019 6,379 posts	0 chunkywizard One of the most useful data fields I have found is 'simple pace' (I think it’s called' which displays an averaged pace over say 15 secs. This smooths out the instant pace a bit and makes for a more accurate figure.
