Digital camera reviews of Garmin Edge 305 Waterproof Cycling GPS With Heart Rate Monitor
Digital camera Review: Accurate,User friendly and Fun
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been using the Garmin Edge 305 for the past month for mountain biking, riding 3-4 days a week on average and have used it on a gruelling 3 day 150 km trip. I find it a great training tool for mountain biking. Easy to set up and use. Accurate for all parameters except calories. The Motion Based software is simple to use, fun, and a great way to share workouts with riding buddies, borrow courses from others and review workouts visually and physiologically . It would be nice if it would be possible to share the info from Garmin Training Center software as well. My only regret is not having purchased the device earlier.Digital camera Review: Amazing piece

The GPS gets a signal indoor ! I have two more GPS devices at home, none of them ever did it. My mio P350 sometimes even looses the signal outdoors. But this thing never lost a signal. The main drawback is that the HR strap must be really wet before it reads your BPM correctly. And I also don't like the attached PC software. But for the price, it's doing much more than I have expected. A friend just got his Polar for the same money, and he doesn't even have a GPS...Digital camera Review: Awesome!

I believe,it is the best cycle computer.
It also works on the training roller.
Digital camera Review: Bad Product to Buy
Summary: 1 Stars
I have owned an Edge 305 for my bike for 2 years and ride between 50 and 100 miles per week. In that 2 years it has been back to the mfg 7 times, each time something doesn't work again! Now maybe I've just had bad luck, but I originally recommended it to several friends and they have all had to send theirs back at least twice. Maybe they had better luck then I did because they only sent it back twice.
For any type of regular riding buy a Polar CS400 or CS600.
Digital camera Review: Best Cycling Computer Yet
Summary: 5 Stars
Garmin really has a winner with the Edge. Heartrate and Cadence information is right on. Training Center software lets you build workouts, and view your data. The Edge has many options to let you personalize the display. Not cheap but works. GPS and elevation are much better then early Forerunner products. Worth the wait.
