It has a built in calendar, memo pad (you can leave the stack of post-its at home now), alarm clock, and stereo bluetooth to name just a few of the extras you get, plus you ge the phone. It can use downloaded ringtones, or you can make your own from mp3's with the included software. The software can also lower the bitrate of any mp3's you want to put on the phone so you can put more of them on it. It also serves as an internet portal for your laptop if you don't have a wireless card for it .
This product has many things you can program to track and how you can customize it for specific needs (and you can change those custom features as your needs change.) For example, If you do a lot of hill running that are fairly steep, but don't know how steep and really want and needto know that; the Forerunner can be programmed to include grade that tells you just that. You can also program up to 9 things to track while you are on a bike or run (up to 3 items in each of 3 fields) but you don't have to program it to its maximum potential.
The Forerunner is a truly accurate unit. Another custom feature is that you can program specific heart rate zones into the Forerunner (which sends that data to the ANT stick and the software programs, though a bit complex to program. Yes, it takes some time if you're going to really use all its functionality, but if you read the owners manual (the bigger one, not the quick start one) and follow the directions, it's really very easy. Also, if you have questions or problems with anything, the Garmin customer service representatives are super helpful and can help you do or fix whatever you need.
One major selling point is this is not only a highly accurate GPS unit for traveling and navigating the nations highways, but also a compact hand held unit that can hold topographic maps allowing to hike and explore the countryside anywhere in the US (or the world). This all-in-one strategy is perfect for anyone's needs not to mention that this unit is about half the cost of a unit specifically designed for an automobile such as a TomTom Go or other similar device. You can mount this to the windsheild and go and then when arriving, just pop it loose and throw it in a back pack. You'll be good to go for a hiking adventure on the trail. However, this particular unit does not feature audible voice directions which are commonly found on units specifically designed for automobiles. This may be part of the reason why there's such a drastic difference in cost. Even though this unit doesn't talk, it does provide audible warning tones and flashes on screen pop up advisories when you are approaching your turns and exits.
