Hi

I have been looking at the Garmin 220 (purple colour, don't think that bit of information is important though!) - does anyone use one and would they recommend it?

Thanks Anne

    I have it and I love it!! It is so lightweight compared to my old 205 model I had been using!

    My 220 and i are in a fight. I had it in New Hampshire on the beach for a race and it was all happy and found the satellite really quick. In Boston where I do 99.8% of my running, I cannot get the thing to lock onto a satellite. I'm not even using it now because of it. When it starts to get warmer and i don't care if I have to stand around outside for 20 minutes first, maybe I'll try it again.

    You might try turning it on and putting it in a windowsill. I do this while I am getting dressed and it's locked and ready to go when I head out the door. I have a different garmin, but I that shouldn't matter.

    Good luck!
