Garmin Edge 305 Bicycle GPS Navigator Review
October 1st, 2009
Garmin Edge 305 Bicycle GPS Navigator Review from RockyClimber. Great Techno-Bike Geek Device!!, I must admit that I had high expectations for this product even with some of the less than stellar reviews that I had seen on this site and others. I am very pleased to say that my expectations were met and greatly exceeded. I had been using a Specialized wired bike computer and had long wished for an integrated heart rate monitor and altimeter since I live in the Rockies and do a lot of climbing. The first couple of rides I found that the heart rate monitor numbers were all over the place and very innacurate. After a little research I found the suggestion to utilize a litte gel on the band instead of saliva or water and that has made all the difference. I purchased Spectra Electrode Gel from [...] and haven’t had a problem since. As to the many complaints about battery life, I did a 4 hour ride today with ‘every second’ data recording turned on and the battery meter did not move from the full position. One little complaint that I do have is the lack of a persistent odometer on the device, but as others have pointed out, this information is available in the Garmin Training Center Software.
