Digital camera reviews of Garmin Edge 305 Bicycle GPS Navigator with Heart Rate Monitor and Speed/Cadence Sensor
Digital camera Review: A Lot Of Stuff In One Bundle
Summary: 4 Stars
I was a little shy about buying all of this stuff in one bundle because when just one thing goes out than your stuck short of stuff. I became brave enough when I was convinced that GARMIN was big enough to warrant the product good enough.
I was quite surprised when I seen all of the stats on the software page after downloading and even configured all of the graphs in any color or order that I wanted. Being a stat nut I was delighted and it only takes seconds to download from the unit to the computer via USB port.
The unit itself can be configured with your choice of (63) stats in as many as (1) to (8) windows per viewing page and with a touch of a button another page pops up with as many as (8) more. I don't have time or room here to name them but one that I'm not used to seeing in other units is the average cadence which for me is a tremendous training tool.
I really like being able to see the time, H/R, speed,distance,cadence,etc including the average for all of them all at once. It sounds complicated but it really is easy to understand and it is so big you will not be bored playing with it.
The downside is that sometimes it is hard to view the screen when sunlight conditions are low and I have to tip my sunglasses to see better.
Another problem is that the battery life is a bit short for all day riders (over 10 hours) however I rarely ride for over (7) hours. That sounds good for most peaple but keep in mind that the battery will lose juice just being stored for awhile so always make sure it is fully charged just before long rides.
Also you must make a concious effort to remember to turn the thing off when youre through else it keeps going till it's dead. After (15) years of automatic shutoff units I sometimes forget however that's not that big a dill because it charges up on the wall charger in a couple of houre like a cell phone. When you turn it back on you can download it's history in your desk computer and the info is stored in a calender for easy access.
If you want an easier to read screen and in color with longer battery life along with a few more bells and whistles than you have to spend hundreds more for the edge 705 however I'm sure that this will be all I'll ever need until the price comes down.
