4Good if you understand what you're buying
By S. Daw
I think that this is a well-made and useful piece of kit. As others have pointed out, the basemap is useless, so you'll need something else - budget accordingly. I use Openstreetmap, and there are now lots of regularly-updated versions of this which can be downloaded free, quite a few of which now allow "turn-by-turn" navigation. Personally, I prefer to plan my own route using Google Maps or similar (there are lots of websites which allow you to do this) and then upload the resulting course to the unit; I find the routes which the unit plans - which will vary according to the maps used anyway - are not always helpful. I find the unit accurate, although it does sometimes struggle under heavy tree cover or when between tall buildings. The trace is very rarely shown as more than a few metres out, but the current sped can bounce around quite a bit under such conditions. I've only once known the unit to completely lose its signal when out of doors, and have used it for one year / 10,000 miles. Even then, it regained its signal within thirty seconds.You'll probably need to be a bit of a geek to get the best out of the Edge 705, but if you want the maximum amount of data (most of which is accurate; the altimeter is better than the old Avocet I used in the early 90s, and the heart rate monitor is as good as the £300 Polar Sport Tester I had at the same time, for instance) then I'd recommend it.I'd previously mentioned in this review that buyers should avoid the 4GB SD card which Amazon sometimes "recommend" from this page - it wouldn't work with the 705, and 2GB is generally adequate, anyway - but a recent firmware update claims to have sorted this problem out. I haven't put this to the test myself, however.

5Don't forget to budget for maps
By dodgydd
This device is just about as advanced as cycling computers can be. It will track your position and movements, record your heart rate and cadence (the speed you turn the pedals) and it will aslo give you turn by turn directions. However, the supplied map is only a 'base map', it does not have intricate detail at street level. It is very important that you budget for mapping such as Garmin's own 'City Navigator 2008'. The City Navigator software has street level and even postcode details which will enable you to either plan routes on your computer using Mapsource (free from Garmin) or to plan routes on the device itself just as you would with a conventional in-car Sat Nav.I have a Garmin 305, too, but this 705 unit really does raise the game. I have all my favourite cafés and stops stored in the 'favourites' section, so if I'm ever out and need a detour, I simply plot a route to either a point of interest (POI) (again, there is a huge point of interest built into City Navigator) or navigate to one of my favourites.There is also a topographical map available (with contours), but it isn't in the same league as those available from Memory Map and Anquet.My advice is to buy City Navigator 2008.

4Great Cycle Computer /
By D. Johnson-Poensgen
Summary: This is an excellent cycle computer and with the optional mapping installed a capable cycling GPS system which will navigate you around a route with acceptable accuracy.Pros: everything you would expect from a cycle computer - speed, heart rate, cadence, altitude - all well displayed on customisable screens. Following navigation instructions, while cycling at speed on an unfamiliar route, is straightforward with a little practice.Cons: Mapping (see below), display is hard to read when cycling in shadeThe 705 is shipped with a base map, which is completely pointless. It is impossible to navigate with the 705 unless an optional additional mapping product is installed (City Navigator is excellent for road biking). Garmin should not sell this unit without mapping. When an optional mapping product is installed, the Garmin 705 lives up to it's promise.
