Setting up the GarminEdge
*******************************
As with everything associated with the Edge, setting up is incredibly simple. There is an 'up' key, 'down' key, 'mode' key and 'enter' key which makes the navigating really simple.
Once charged and turned on for the first time the you can enter the riders sex, age, weight, the weight of the bike, the tyre size etc - all info required to calculate calories burn.
Using the GarminEdge 205 on the bike
***********************************************
After the initial set up phase (see below) it is a case of snap on to the bike mount, turn on and pedal off. There are no wires in the way and no sensors and receivers to set up, which is an added bonus since ...
Advantages: Combined cycle computer and sat nav. Lots of features Disadvantages: Initially it is difficult to learn to use
personal profile, stick it on the bike and go for a ride. The start/stop button tells the Edge 705 which bit s to record.
Once you get back from the ride it is possible to save the data to the PC software Garmin provides as a download on its website. If you're a bit more au fait with a computer, then it is possible to pull the data file straight out of the unit, because it mounts as a USB mass storage device. The data can then be uploaded and analysed using various software packages.
****Bike computer functions****
The Edge 705 also has a huge range of bike computer functions including speed, time/stopwatch, calories expended, cadence (providing you have the cadencesensor), altitude and heart rate amongst many others.
It is possible to customise the display so you can see up to ten of them at once, and you can have different ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Garmin EDGE 705
Advantages: Many many functions, training centre info Disadvantages: Info overload, price, rubbish standard map
savings soon add up (so far they've added up to a brand new bike, panniers, millions of cycling jerseys and shorts, SPDs and shoes, and so on, but that's another story!).
So, on that basis I'll recommend the Edge 305 too with a full five starts - it keeps him happy and amused, and although I've heard more than I ever thought possible about comparison rides and data and so on, I can live with that (secretly some of it is actually kind of interesting...) :o)
Other information:
There is a smaller brother to the Edge 305, which is the Edge 205. It doesn't support heart rate and cadencesensors, and has GPS altitude rather than barometric (so is less accurate when calculating hills), but is also about £100 cheaper than the 305.
