Add maps and increase your motivation with the new Garmin Edge 705. Overall, the Edge 705 is a well-thought-out, well-designed, well-built and feature-rich cycling GPS that is a pleasure to use. If you're used to running wires around your fork and frame to mount a conventional cycling computer, you'll welcome the totally wire-free GPS cycle computer. Also, there's no need for pesky wheel calibration routines, because you're getting your position data from satellites, not your wheels on the road. This feature also makes it easy to switch the unit between bikes without sacrificing accuracy or recalibrating.
This GPS-enabled cycle computer comes loaded with everything you need to make the most out of your ride. Get cycle computer data and mapping detail, all from one compact, easy-to-use device. You can even store, analyse and share your stats for the world to see with Garmin’s online training community. With a colour display and ultra-cool training features, Garmin Edge 705 has it all.
Getting started, the Edge 705 quickly picks up satellites, even under tree cover or in houses. The display is clear and the backlight bright enough to make it easily readable in all conditions. Controlling the unit is easy: you use the joystick and the two well placed buttons below the screen for recording laps and starting/stopping the data recording. The other menu, mode and zoom functions are accessed via two side buttons, and all are easily usable even with gloved hands.
The display can show you a variety of information: map and route; up to 16 types of data in two screens; a compass with your bearing if you’re on a prepared route; an elevation trace of the ride so far and more. It sounds complicated but Garmin has done a great job of guiding you through the options. The number of simultaneous displays, how customisable they are, and the size of the screen are all great advantages.
Racers will like the array of training workouts, and the virtual training partner where you can race a recorded course – yours or someone else’s. Don’t know where you’re going? If you have the right routable street maps installed, you can choose a destination and the Edge will guide you there. As you near a junction it beeps, and the screen lights up to tell you what to do next. For longer journeys, be sure to set the routing options to ‘Bicycle’ or it’ll try and put you on the nearest motorway if it can.
You can shove the Edge 705 in your pocket if you're on a different bike without a mount, and it'll still record everything pretty accurately. Off-road, you can create a route as a ‘track’ and upload it in GPX format, and the unit will keep you tracking in the right direction. However, if you're using the topo maps, be aware that the lack of detail makes a major change of plan tricky. You'll still need paper maps for emergencies on the hill.
Nominal battery life is 15 hours, an improvement on the Edge 305’s 12 hours, but still not quite enough for multi-day epics or solo 24 hour racing. The Edge would charge off just about any charger that has a mini-B USB plug, which is handy for, say, charging it from your car between laps of a 24-hour race. For serious training, the Edge 705 can display and record data from the latest SRM power meters and from Quarq’s CinQo meter. Saris is rumoured to be working on a compatible version of the PowerTap hub, which already uses the same 2.4GHz channel but not Garmin’s Ant+Sport protocol.
Those already acquainted with previous Garmin Edge units will find the Edge 705 familiar and an easy upgrade. The unit feels very solid in the had and is easily operated one-handed. The button controls are intuitively placed on the unit, and the screen is bright and crisp. Those unfamiliar with Garmin's handheld units will find the learning curve somewhat steep at first, and will need to spend some quality time with the manual. Once mastered, however, the Edge 705 is a powerful GPS that provides navigation, training, and cycling capabilities not found on other units.
