Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Garmin Edge 305 Bicycle GPS Navigator with Heart Rate Monitor and Speed/Cadence Sensor
Customer Review: Stats geeks rejoice!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a beautiful thing. If your standard cycling computer isn't doing the trick, get one of these suckers. If you have several bikes, you can help justifying the price by getting several mounts and just trading it between bikes.
I love the overload of data it provides. HRM, cadence (on my non-recumbent bike), altitude, maps, etc. Two things you'll want immediately after getting this: Google Earth (upgrade to Google Earth Plus to interact directly with the GPS), and also get a login at mapmyride.com. That also talks directly to the Edge, meaning you can blog your ride minutes after getting home, if you're so inclined.
Customer Review: Great Bike Computer
Summary: 5 Stars
easy to use bike computer once you have figured out what data you want/need. after setting up the data fields its just great to have all the info you want at a glance. and reviewing your ride in google earth for example is really nice. the training software is nice too, but even if you dont like it you can import the data in allmost every other training software available. if you want a bike computer with gps functionality rather than a navigation device the edge 305hr+ is what you want.
also the installation is pure fun. no cables, its done in minutes, no problem at all. and you can use it on 2 bikes.
Customer Review: GREAT Garmin Edge 305 Bicycle HRM/Cadence/GPS/%Grade
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a GREAT bicycle computer for road bike training and general riding. Has many parameters it monitors in real time. I especially like the heart rate monitor functions (current HR, HR Zone, HR Alarms, and more), plus all the usual bicycle paramters such as speed and cadence including each of their varients. But my favorite are all the GPS functions (including uploading your ride route to Garmin Training Center software and/or to MapMyRide.com) and I really like the % Grade, Elevation, and climbing paramters. Works very well here in the foothills of Boulder Colorado area. HIGHLY RECOMENDED!!!!!Customer Review: Great cyclometer and great support
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had this device for a little over a year. I was an early adopter. I must say, I really enjoy this thing. This with the services provided by [...] make for a really nice setup. I did have issues with the HRM, but garmin send me a new one, no questions asked, by email request (no hold time!). The battery life issue should be noted, it only lasts about 5 hours. Garmin has been great about addressing defects; when the product was first released there was a defect in which the device wouldn't shut off when plugged into a USB port, but it was quickly fixed. All in all, a great product with great support.Customer Review: Best Bike Computer Ever.
Summary: 5 Stars
If you been looking for a bike computer that can do cadence and heart rate monitor, look no more. Incredible flexibility and ease of use. Track your progress, race again your virtual partner and more. I have tried Polar, Cateye and was never quite satisfy with the product, their use or functionality. The Garmin Edge 305 hits the spot. I even consider the new suunto but they don't offer cadence. I have the unit speed/cadence sensor installed in my road bike but also have use it without the sensor in my mountain bike and several rentals over the last 30 days with great results. I greatly recommend it.
