 All that and a bag of chips |

| Reviewer: M. Hagedorn, |
I've have several Garmin devices including: Forerunner 201, 205, 305, eTrex, 60sx but the 705 brings it all together in a small package with a looooooong battery life, sensitive GPS (aquires sats inside my garage), bright screen and enough internal memory for Socal maps (great since 2009 version of maps requires more memory), the 705 includes a micro sd slot but it requires a Garmin card, it did not recognize my Kingston or Sandisk micro sd cards; I haven't used the card slot yet because the internal memory has enough capacity and I've loaded most of the southwestern US.
Cadence monitor, speed monitor installed quickly and have worked flawlessly; I have several heart rate chest straps and the HR monitor recognizes all of them.
The kit comes with two attachment straps so you can orient the 705 on the neck of your handle bar or the handle bar.
Every rider takes the occasional spill but my 705 remained securely attached.
Great device, if it had a wrist strap for running (it is smaller than my 201) it would be perfect; it is the envy of my riding group. |

| I bought the Garmin Edge 705 to replace my Garmin Edge 305. Although the 305 did everything i needed, I wanted a larger display, better battery management, and the ability to load maps in the device. I got everything I wanted with the 705. In fact, the new features and the way the buttons operate are so much better to toggle between views and to enter information in. Its a pricey item, but I use it at least twice a week so I get my money's worth. I upload my info onto my computer and can map where my routes are (that feature is similar to the 305)...with the exception of beaming my routes to other 605 or 705 devices, which I have yet to do. Since I had my cadence and bike mount from the 305 on the bike already, I just purchased the most basic model and didn't have to do any additional installation...that was nice. Its a great device, can't ride without it even more so. |

| The unit itself is small, sturdy, lightweight, and very easy to install. The software includes a training program and a mapping program. I bought mine with the Garmin map card, and that's made my club rides a real pleasure (no need for cue sheets). When I get home from a ride, I upload the data into the Garmin Training Center software, and I can compare every aspect of the ride to previous rides (distance, speed, cadence, heart rate, elevation, etc.). If I feel like it, I'll upload the ride onto the Garmin Connect webpage. I can't say enough good stuff about this GPS/bike computer. I haven't used it to figure out routes from Point A to Point B, but I can see where that would be a tough task for any system (how to choose safe bike routes from among the many alternatives?). All in all, I'm very happy with the purchase and would recommend this unit to anyone in the market for a bike computer or bike GPS. |
