New triathlete watch – Garmin Forerunner 910XT

UPDATE: Read our Garmin Forerunner 910XT review.
Garmin has just announced the Forerunner 910XT, a successor to the popular 310XT. Aimed squarely at triathletes, the 910XT brings a ton of improvements for swimmers and adds power meter support and a barometric altimeter. I could see the latter making this attractive to trail runners as well.

Before we get into the details, here’s some info on the rest of the series…
GLONASS in my hand

UPDATE: Here’s my hands on review of the eTrex 20, including an evaluation of it’s performance.
Well this is the coolest thing I’ve seen on a GPS receiver in a long time. I picked up the new eTrex 20 yesterday and was happy to see that, as advertised, it promptly locked on to not only GPS satellites, but Russian GLONASS birds as well.
As far as I know, this is the first consumer receiver to feature GLONASS in the US. I know there is at least one smartphone available in Russia with it, but I’m not sure what else is out there.
We’ve seen recent reports suggesting GLONASS will improve reception in northerly latitudes and urban canyons. If you’ve got an eTrex to test in those environments, we’d love to hear from you. Chime in below!
On the road with the Garmin Montana

I finally plunked down the cash for the automotive mount and City Navigator

Apparently it’s video week at GPS Tracklog. I’m still learning iMovie after my recent move to Mac, so I’m not claiming pro quality.
