Does anyone have problems with their Garmin 205 “finding” the satellites during T2? I was thinking of putting mine on for the run, but am not sure how it will work?
I appreciate any advice.
Why not turn it on before the race? Then it’s all set to go. As long as your race is less than 7 hours everything should be fine.
If you are doing a longer race and are worried about the battery life then you can use a usb battery extender like either of these:

Search the forums for discussion on racing with the 305.
We’ve had a lot of posts in the last month covering it.
