The editors liked

  • The Garmin Edge 705 offers a beautiful color display and more features than any other bike GPS device
  • Sharp color moving map display
  • Numerous GPS features to help you find your way
  • Keep a detailed online/PC training log without writing a thing
  • Wireless.
  • Detailed maps and directions are spoton. GPS reception is excellent even in heavily wooded areas. Software and web app integration are a boon to digit crunchers.

The editors didn't like

  • It doesn’t have a touchscreen or the ability to read temperature like many other Garmin cycle computers.
  • To get detailed street maps
  • You will need to buy an optional map of North America on SD card ($99) or buy the $650 version of the 705 (there are three versions of the 705) that comes with the map
  • Heart rate monitor
  • And cadence monitor. See more detail...
  • Needs capability for more than three bikes. CDROM user manual needs more detail. Should come with a glarefree screen skin. Must run the battery all the way down before the first charge or youll only get about three hours of use.
