Usually, as with my iPhone screen, all it took was a wipe against my shirt. However, at the NYC Half last year, even the buttons failed. I couldn't stop my time! I'd say non-responsiveness when wet is an unfortunate drawback to the Garmin but the pros definitely outweigh the cons. Now I use it on all my long bike rides!

I've read some reviews where the garmin fails to function if it gets wet( sweating nd running in the rain). Is this a common problem? Has anyone else had this experience? Thanks, Sandy HI

It seems that you're trying to use Google Earth to import your Garmin data, and that method doesn't work for me either. I'm not sure whether option "Garmin" is intended to be used with the Forerunner watches or with the many other Garmin GPS devices.

When I try to do it by cliking "Tools" "GPS" "Garmin" "Import", I always obtain the same message: "Restore the device and check connections" What should I do?. Thank you very much. PIlar Hello,
Would you be so kind to tell me how do you do to export your runs to Google Earth from Garmin 405?. When I try to do it by cliking “Tools” “GPS” “Garmin” “Import”, I always obtain the same message:
“Restore the device and check connections”
What should I do?.

Thank you very much.

On Garmin ANT Agent Device Settings, I have "Automatically erase data from my device after transfer" checked. You could try creating a new profile and/or deleting the GTC .tcx file. If there was something you really specific you were trying to do, the .tcx files can be modified in Notepad (risky move though). Matthew: I hadn't noticed there's no way to print from Garmin Training Center! However, if you upload to Garmin Connect, you could print through your browser.
