Garmin Does It Again

Garmin Edge 705
While perusing local stores and online reviews in my quest for new bike brakes and a padded bike seat, I discovered another must-have bike accessory: the Garmin Edge 705. It combines the best features of bike training computers with Garmin GPS navigation, so you can explore new terrain freely, confident you are getting the workout you want–and that you’ll find your way back home. It’s on the Men’s Health Lust List and got a write up on Engadget a couple of months ago. I have been reading a lot of positive reviews about the integrated personal training system and the wireless route sharing capabilities. I LOVE the fact that it comes with a wireless heart rate monitor; it is such a cool feature. Can’t wait to take one for a spin, but for now it will go on my wish list.

Thanks for posting this! I’ve been shopping around for a GPS for my weekend mountain biking trips and haven’t come across one that made sense. Garmin Edge 705 just might be the ticket. I love the heart monitor feature too.

Np, thanks for checking out my post! Let me know if you get a chance to test the 750; I think the heart monitor combined with the time and distance alerts will make this the ultimate training computer and a great motivator. Hope it’s not just wishful thinking!
