Rating : - still disappointing ...
UPDATE (goes first because this is BIG NEWS): yesterday, the unit died. neither of the buttons had any effect. only two months old, a major disappointment in use, & now this. we'll see if garmin support is any good. so far they're ignoring me. in the meanwhile, i'd recommend avoiding this product. (see ANOTHER UPDATE below)

rewritten this review after resolving some issues with this product:

1) if the ant agent is running (& as it makes itself a login app it's more or less guaranteed) & you unplug the ant stick, it panics the osx kernel. that loses major points, garmin. apparently, a third-party supplied the usb driver. i'm waiting for an update that fixes this nasty bug.

2) earlier complained about a sync failure. after reinstalling software & complaining to support, finally found the cause: the timer was still running. that was obvious [insert sarcmark here], especially when i'd assumed pressing the stop button would stop it. discovered this when the unit's battery drained after only a couple hours when i thought it in power save mode.

for posterity, here's my prior one star review:
"the gps unit may work. the ant stick garbage doesn't. first, if the ant agent is running (& it sticks itself in your login app so it's more or less guaranteed to be there) & you unplug the ant stick, it panics the osx kernel. well written, idiots. second, after a single successful sync, the ant stick refuses to acknowledge the forerunner. just doesn't see it. so much for being an easy way of loading your exercising onto various & sundry site. i rate this a total fail. have a support request in with garmin. if they resolve my issue(s) i may revise this rant. for now, colour me disappointed & really pissed off."

UPDATE: rated three stars for a while. there are far too many problems with this product to rate it any higher. it's just a disappointment, especially after reading all the five star reviews. they've updated the ant agent software but i'm not keen on testing if they've solved the kernel panics it caused. the device took 5min to locate the satellites this afternoon & then plotted a totally incorrect location for the first 5min or so of my exercise. that's useful ...

ANOTHER UPDATE (after the BIG NEWS): continues to disappoint. revived the unit with a recharge having followed their support instructions. it's still crap. sometimes it fails to sync with satellites. other times it switches off its timer without notice. just a poorly designed unreliable device. still recommend avoidance. i'll go with polar next time ...
