easy to use just wish it clipped on September 14, 2008
Easy to use. Paired fast, no problem calibrating, very accurate. You have to lace it on and only way to remove it from your shoe is to unlace your shoe. Would be nice if it had a base that laced on and then the pod clipped on. However, the fot pod is so light you don't notice it there.

I own the Garmin 405 with HRM. It is beyond me why anyone would be happy with buying a foot pod. The correct answer is for Garmin to allow manual entries and the editing of data on Garmin Connect and Training Center. This deficiency means that if you are running, biking, or working out indoors you are forced to pay $100 to log your workout.
Oh - and if you complete an "indoor cardio" workout like biking that doesn't involve any impact then the foot pod will not work and you still can not log your workout.
The 405 is a solid product, the Garmin Connect and Training Center are buggy and deficient, and the foot pod is a complete rip off. Open a Garmin Connect account for yourself and prepare to be underwhelmed.

Great product July 9, 2008
Looking for a great way to accurately track your workouts indoors? This will fit your need. I have an older treadmill at home and is not accurate, the foot pod accurately tracks my mileage and pace. You can also upload your workouts to your Garmin Training Center software on your computer. I did not calibrate mine and it's within a .05 of a mile on the treadmills at the gym, so it's pretty accurate already. Of course if you want to be precise follow the directions to calibrate it. The only drawback to the foot pod is that it isn't easily removed from your show due to having to run your laces through them. Maybe future models will have an easier way to attach and detach the foot pod. That's the only negative. I am very pleased with my purchase and works automatically with my Forerunner 305.
Garmin Indoor Foot Pod Accessory May 9, 2008
The foot pod helps me keep accurate results for my weekly running log. I feel it is more accurate than the equipment at the gym. However I wish it was easier to take on and off I like to switch out my running shoes.
A nice accessory for the Forerunner May 5, 2008
I bought this to accompany my Forerunner 305. I was training for a marathon in Phoenix in January so I did a lot of training indoors since I live in Utah. It was easy to get synced with my Forerunner, and I haven't had to replace the battery in the Foot Pod yet. My only issue is with calibrating it. I tried to calibrate it using the distance reading on the treadmill, but it seemed to vary from treadmill to treadmill. This could be due to inaccuracies in the treadmills sensors. It would be nice if it had a feature to auto calibrate it using the GPS in tandem with the accelerometers in the Foot Pod, instead of having to enter a calibration constant in manually. Still a great piece of equipment.
