I tried to send the following as an email to customer support for their use on feedback. The email screen says my browser is unsupported. I'm surprised Safari is unsupported. Here is the email:
I've tried entering my HR on the settings screen. I cannot change the HR Max to a lower value because my HRM is lower than 90% of the default value on the web form.
I was a polar user that changed to a Garmin Edge 305 because I am also a MAC user and Polar does not support MACs. I'm pleased with the 305 unit. That's the good news.
The Garmin Training Center is very deficient for analysis. Garmin Connect is a little better but still way below the stand alone Polar Performance Software I was used to using.
With Polar, I could upload settings from my computer to the polar unit. I cannot with Garmin. With the polar I could analyze segments of a ride but manually setting a lap or zooming onto a mile or two. I could compute the grade of a climb doing this with polar Can't do this with Garmin. Can't even see the grade of a climb with a Garmin. The report is only a summary in Garmin. With Polar I could get trend reports over time. One feature that neither Garmin nor Polar has is the ability to see and download detailed information in a tabular form like a spreadsheet.
I like the 305. The software is very poor.
The Motion Based software looked interesting, but I guess we can't use that. I'm still looking for alternatives.
Now I tried to send an email for feedback and I get a message that my browser is unsupported. What else doesn’t work?
