WOW!!! What a great training tool!

Date of Review:  Apr 26, 2006
The Bottom Line: Overall I really love this thing.
Review: To be fair, I've only had the Edge 305 for a little over a year. The model I have came with a heart rate monitor and cadence sensor. So far I haven't found much I don't like about it. The operation of the unit is surprisingly intuitive and the...

Great product with a few teething troubles

Date of Review:  Apr 22, 2006
The Bottom Line: The Edge 305 scores well because it is brilliant at what it does. If the software niggles described can be overcome the Edge 305 could well get 5 stars.
Review: Overview

I'd been looking for a GPS device for a while now and picked the Edge 305 for a number of reasons:

- I mainly want to log where I mountain bike, often places where there are no defined trails.
- Elevation accuracy...

good, when it works

Date of Review:  Mar 21, 2008
The Bottom Line: Buy it only if you get an extended warranty and have a back-up training tool to use when it is in for repair (frequently)
Review: My disappointing Edge 305.

When I first heard of the Edge 305 and all it could do I was amazed!! As an avid road and competitive mountain biker the functions available on the edge 305 seemed to be just what I needed. My wife surprised me...

The unit is nice, software is a crime

Date of Review:  Jan 8, 2008
The Bottom Line: The unit is great, but Garmin can't be forgiven for fleecing us with 'MotionBased' scam
Review: Got the Edge so I track the miles I rack up my bike, and my heartrate- I like to keep it around 200 or so. The Edge does all that, and it even has a backlight.

The included mount is pretty lame- I had to weld together out of #2 bar stock...

My problems with Garmin Edge 305

Date of Review:  Feb 26, 2007
Review: When I bought this very expensive system, I was under the belief that I could run and track three separate bikes. I immediately sent in for two more cadence/speed pickups, for another $230 dollars. First, when they came, they would not interface...

Great motivator

Date of Review:  Jun 26, 2007
The Bottom Line: This is a great training aid and motivator. I ride my bike for fitness and to lose weight and this is just the thing to keep me going.
Review: My wife gave me the Garmin Edge 305 as an early birthday gift. She knew if she waited for my BD in September my riding season would be almost over. I am so excited about the Garmin. i have just started using it and already I am setting new personal...

What an amazing tool, LOVE IT!

Date of Review:  Mar 19, 2007
The Bottom Line: Great buy, do it do it do it!
Review: This is perhaps the best purchase I have made for my working out next to only my bike itself! I saw one review here stating that it won't keep track of total miles, but apparently he doesn't know how to use it as it does this without any issue for...

Heart rate works only 50% of the time, at best

Date of Review:  Sep 8, 2008
Review: I do like the unit but mostly purchased it to keep track of my hear rate. Garmin includes a little piece of paper saying exotic fabrics, when vibrating, can cause the hear rate monitor to not work properly. The paper should have stated "all fabrics...
