Indespensible equipment May 19, 2008
I got this Garmin Edge 305 a couple of months after my former cycling computer pooped out. I use it every day. I highly recommend this product. It is indespensible to riding knowing where you're going, where you've been, and everything in between. This unit gives me more information than any monitor I've ever used. I don't really care about the ability to store my workouts on my PC; but it's a nice feature to have if you're interested in going back and looking at what you've done on the bicycle. All in all, I give this unit a very high rating.
 No reliability May 12, 2008

You will love your Garmin (features and sw are excellent) until it starts shutting off by itself. I returned one after about 6 months and got a replacement from Garmin (no questions asked) so they obviously know there is a problem. My second unit worked fine for about 3 months before it also shuts off on the slightest bumps (clearly a problem with a BIKE COMPUTER). I'm riding on the road not mountain roads. Now it will shut off if I tap it on the top of the unit.
I have a couple of friends who have had similar problems. Amazing that this is still such a top selling item. Imagine if a $300 cellphone worked great except it would randomly shut itself off.
Don't buy this computer. You will get hooked on the cool features and keep looking at your bike computer to turn it back on during your rides instead of paying attention to the road!
 love the edge 305 April 28, 2008
I read as many reviews as I could find on this device and several others. Fortunately none of the negative issues a few others found were a problem with mine. I find it easy to use and setup and would recommend it to anyone. I also found the price and shipping through Amazon to be excellent, as usual.
Great Bike Computer April 18, 2008
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.
Garmin Bike Computer is terrific April 10, 2008
I am NOT technically proficient, yet I found the Garmin easy to set-up and loaded with features that I'm still discovering. Having all this feedback when on training rides help to make the rides more interesting - particularly when on the indoor trainer.
I am using the ability to download and transmit the daily training data to be very useful, as I have an offsite training coach who is using these data to assess my progress and adjust my training plan based upon the live data.
The product is a lot of fun, as well as, a useful source of information. Adding a temperature feature would be my only addition at this point.
