We recently took the plunge and purchased the new Garmin Forerunner 405. While we’ve never spent much time in this space plugging products, this is one that – although we’ve had it only a short time – we can wholeheartedly endorse. Granted, this is our first GPS-enabled gadget, so we were somewhat destined to be wowed. But everything about it (save the price, perhaps) seems right. Easy to program, ingeniously designed, and delivering everything promised when on the road, the 405 feels almost perfect. We wish it were Mac compatible (supposedly that’s coming in autumn), but we have no other complaints. There’s functional. There’s cool. And this thing sits right in the middle of that intersection.
