The Edge 305 has a different and more sensitive chip (the SiRFStarIII) than the one in the Forerunner 301; it also has a barometric sensor (like in their handheld GPS76CS) to provide additional data for better altitude estimates than in the 301.
There is a fairly active Garmin discussion email list over on yahoo groups, if anybody is interested.
