I recently decided to treat myself to a heart rate monitor. After lots of research I ‘justified’ getting one with a built in GPS so that I could track speed, distance, etc while out running in the mountains. To cut a long story short I used the excellent jump.co.za to find the cheapest source.

I found that I could get the Garmin Forerunner 305 from a shop called EasyGIS for a LOT less than anywhere else. It was more than R600 cheaper than Sportsman’s Warehouse or Kalahari.net! Amazing.

Only problem was that EasyGIS is a small outfit that has little reputation, so I was a little worried about problems. I got a good feeling from the guy on the other side of their emails so I took a chance. I have to say that I was very happy with the results:

• Best price available anywhere by quite a margin
• Free setup and delivery (to the door) of the item
• The item arrived 1 working day after ordering!

In short, if you are considering buying a Garmin GPS item then I recommend checking out EasyGIS.

If you are looking into EasyGIS then rest assured – they are a quality outfit.

I can’t wait to try this baby out!
