Does anyone have an old/spare/extra charging cradle for a Garmin Forerunner 305 they would like to sell at a reasonable price?<br>
Does anyone know where to get one real reasonable. The best prices I've found is around $25 including shipping from Ebay, it just seems high for what it is. But you gotta have it!

$25 doesn't sound unreasonable to me. Have you checked with Garmin to see what they sell them for?<br><br>

$23 from Garmin plus shipping. It just seems high for such a little peice of plastic. If it had a straight USB port it would be so much cleaner anyway! Guess I'll be buying a new one though. Gotta have it!

I would get it from Garmin. I thought about buying a second one just so I would have one at work. Every know and then I bring it to work with a low battery. When I forget to turn it off. Dummy me.

I actually found mine! But I know what you mean about a second one. The thing is, as far as I can tell from Garmin it's just the cradle, not the a/c adapter.<br><br>
On the not turning it off, that drive sme nuts also. Seems like it should have an auto off nothing has been touched or no movement for a few hours. Maybe the 405 has that feature?

I agree. This should be simple enough to do. I love my garmin, but I've forgotten to turn it off quite a few times only to find it dead when I put it on the next day.<br><br>

I bought a car charger for mine, haven't used it (kinda misplaced it) but I thought it might be useful. However, I have also had the same problem of going to use it and realizing it was still on and not enough time to do anything about it.
