 The best bike accessory I've ever purchased! June 9, 2008
Excellent, excellent, excellent!...
A lot of other folks have gone over the various pros and cons so I'm not going to do that. If you do your research on what you need and what this unit provides you won't go wrong.
Let's be clear... this unit was not designed to be like your car GPS with the nice mapping that you follow. It HAS some basic mapping features but it is meant to be a training tool. And, with that in mind, it is one of the best. It has all of the stats I want with heart rate, mileage, elevation, cadence (if you get the add-on), averages, etc.
The 'race yourself' features, the training workout setups, and the courses are all great features and very cool if you decide to use them. I, personally, love the 'virtual partner' feature. It allows me to race myself whenever I'm on a course that I've done before. This can totally change the mentality of your workout. You can also 'race' someone else's recorded course if you get it from online.
I bought a cheapo armband and now I can use this for running, hiking, canoing, etc as well. Cool!
This unit is well constructed and has held up supremely in rain, mud and, yes, even wet snow! If you spend a little quality time with the menu system before diving in, you'll find that it's pretty easy to use (but... please spend at least a little time).
If you're a serious biker and want a good training tool, you should definately check this unit out. If you REALLY want the complete mapping of a standard GPS then check out the Edge 705 as well.
Great price, quick delivery May 31, 2008
I purchased the 305HR as a replacement for a lost unit. I didn't think about purchasing a different product as I was happy with the features with the 305HR. What really impressed me was the quick delivery and great price.
Bike Computer May 5, 2008
Great Bike Computer, no wires. GPS very sensitive, can pick up signal indoors. Easy to use. Easy to upload rides onto internet for further review. Elevation seems to be very accurate.
Nice HRM bike computer April 24, 2008
I've had this for a couple of weeks now and it's great. HRM works great and the unit has completely customizable visible fields (up to 8 visible at once); hr, time, distance, speed etc. I don't have the cadence sensor and with the gps, I don't think I need it. I like that the unit can go from bike to bike without needing a sensor and spoke magnet on each bike. I love plugging the unit into my computer after a ride and seeing my route on google earth. I have a Polar s720i and I like the edge much better--I've removed the Polar hardware from my bikes. The software isn't beautiful but it works--the Polar software is nicer and more full-featured. I'm hoping some software updates for the garmin are coming. Good product--highly recommended.
Excellent GPS and HR tracker April 13, 2008
After trying a GPS device from another well known company, I gave up and bought the Garmin Edge 305HR. I checked the device's elevation indicator against a topo map and found it to be quite accurate. Another nice thing is that the 305HR syncs up with satellites quite rapidly where the other device took up to 15 to 20 minutes longer to sync and in some cases, not at all.
Finally, the device can be mounted on the handle bar stem so that you can reference it at all times.
