 Caveats! November 1, 2006
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
Pros: 1. Accurate mileage if you stay in the open. 2. Basic GPS information with maps.
Cons: 1. You will lose the signal sporadically in the woods. 2. Cadence needs constant adjustment. 3. Calorie count grossly inaccurate. This past summer I rode 100 miles on the Blue Ridge Parkway and calories were barely counted on the ascents. On the flats, calorie numbers are about about 40 percent inflated. 4. Software doesn't work with Macs. 5. Expensive.
Recommendation: Until Garmin does a software fix, avoid this item. If you're going to spend the money, go with a Suunto T6.
As good as it gets - for now September 2, 2006

Works great right of the box. I haven't had the battery issues yet as the other reviewers mention. Easy to read instruction booklet and screens. Cadence and heart rate monitors seem accurate. You can design your own custom screen with up to eight functions at a time which is cool. The Edge 305 Cadence / HRM bike bundle will give you a wealth of information about your rides and workouts.
On the downside:
-Calling customer support will cost you a half hour - at least.
-The spoke sensor mount doesn't fit well on flat spokes (Mavic Ksyrium SSC) I had to use the mount from my old Cateye computer.
- NO ODO! Bummer! Garmin tech support says they're working on it and hopefully will be available as a software update soon. Add a star when that happens...
 Not for Directional GPS Use August 20, 2006
11 out of 12 found this review helpful
Unlike other GPS products, such as Garmin eMap GPS, I was abit disappointed to learn that the Garmin Edge 305 GPS does NOT come with features used for displaying a map on the main screen, or have info on Turn by Turn Routing, Turn by Turn Route Prompting, 3D Perspective Map View, Text-to-Speech Voice Prompts, nor does it allow uploading of GPS Maps from a computer or have internal or additional memory. The waypoints are stored in the unit and are downloadable to view the map on a home computer. I was hoping that I could find a GPS unit that would allow me to upload maps of bike routes throughout Southern California and provide directional information. Hopefully the next generation of Garmin Bike GPS products will intergrate these features.
Edge 305 - Good For Day Trips, But Not For Tours July 14, 2006
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
The Edge 305 has all of the bells and whistles that you would want in a bicycle computer. Each of the functions is relatively easy to use, providing great infomation concerning speed, cadence, heart rate, elevation, ascent, grade, etc. The only draw back is that the battery does not last more than a few hours. This is a negative if you are out on a tour. Two weeks ago I did GRABRAAWR in Wisconsin. This seven day ride covering 430 miles was great, but every night I needed to find an outlet so that I could recharge the battery. This is the only fault that I can find in the Edge 305.
