I am considering the Polar S720i or the Garmin Edge 305 for a good HR/Cyclometer that I can analyze the data on a computer. I would like to know how people like the software, especially if you have tried both.
I like the auto-mapping features and ability to graph HR, altitude, speed, etc with the Edge 305 but the Polar (which also has altitude, hr, speed, etc) seems to have better software (from what I have heard) and it can also be used while riding indoors on the trainer.
I have both a Mac and PC. I would rather use the Mac but I can use the PC if there is no other option (the Polar won't download to Mac... without additional Virtual PC software and clumsy hardware configurations)
Is the Garmin software as good as the Polar software? Any 3rd party applications that are better than either Garmin's or Polar's?
Thanks
John
