When the battery is charging, is the Garmin 305 available for use? I just wanted to make sure that the words, "Battery Charging in Process" didn't appear the whole time you were riding.

My other question, is when you spoke to the Garmin rep, did he indicate if they intended to add any of the three requested additions? You are right, the ability to add routes to the 305 from a PC would be very cool.

Sorry I'm a little late responding on this one: Yes, the Garmin is available for use when charging. The message "Battery Charging in Progress" is displayed while the unit is off, but it can be turned on as normal.

The Garmin rep indicated that they were working on #2 and #3, but I got the impression that their software team isn't huge, and bug fixes are currently prioritized over new features. I think #1 is going to be more of a business issue for them... they'll need to find someone to partner with to provide power data. Or license the technology from a third party.
