The Garmin Edge 705 GPS is a must have for the techie that loves to cycle. I happen to be a pretty avid amateur cyclist and this device makes tracking a ride a breeze. I really like the cadence and speed sensor on this device, they are completely wireless and work really really well. The heartrate monitor is a must-have in my opinion as well. Here’s what Hofner Guy said on Amazon:

There is so much out there on the Garmin Edge 705, that I am not going to write a huge detailed review. I just wanted to add my opinion that I love this thing! It works great, it was easy to install, and its easy to set up and use. I purchased the version with heart rate, cadence, and micro SD card based street maps. The maps were easy to install on the unit also — just insert the SD card and the unit finds the maps!

Its well made — it should be for what it cost. I just wanted it to to work well,be easy to use, and give me the data it advertised. Its all that and I must say that my expectations were exceeded (and I had some pretty high expectations). Are you getting the point that easy is a theme here? [...] The training center software is good too but I like the website better. The training center doesn’t seem to overlay maps in any detail, where the website works with Google Earth. [...]

I couldn’t have said it better myself, I really do love this gadget.
