Easy to use, easy to setup, incredibly user friendly. Not as detailed as other dataloggers however for a Novice/Intermediate 1/2, it is plenty.

Garmin Catalyst was great at the track. Easy to use and set up. However buying from Best Buy gave me a little hassle...their rewards program didn't give me all the points I had coming. Calling didn't help as two CS reps hung up on me. Still trying to resolve.
