Beware of deceptive Amazon pricing policy. I purchased on 8/26 at $649. 99 from Amazon. I needed to pull up item today (9/1) on Amazon. com to get order details so I could write Garmin for City Navigator SD card instructions (City Navigator SD card does not come with any instructions) and was shocked to see that the same item is now being sold for $100 less. I called Amazon customer service to inquire about price guarantee. I was told that if Amazon itself is not selling product at the lower price, they will not provide price guarantee. So, buyer beware, whatever price you see Amazon offering might not be the best pricing they offer on their site, and if they under-cut their pricing a moment after you place your order by posting a lower price of another re-seller, it’s your loss! Just bad Amazon pricing policy and a bad Amazon branding policy that creates a lousy Amazon buying experience. Take this risk into consideration as you buy this item.

This product is misleading. There is discussion on this page and Garmin’s website that documents it as having features that it does not have. The fine details show that they are actually talking about the Edge 705, not the 605. If you buy this, do so knowing that the Speed/Cadence sensor does not work with this device. The heart rate sensor does not work with this device. In fact, no ANT+Sport sensors work with this device. If you want any of those features, you are looking at the wrong product. Review the Edge 705 instead.

If you’re unsure, go to Garmin’s website, find this product and click on the “Compare These” link. Select the 605 and the 705 to see just how little the 605 really does.

I’ve owned several Garmin sport GPSs (Forerunner, Edge, etc. ). The Edge 305 was OK, but you couldn’t really “use” the GPS until you got home and downloaded your data – after the fact. The new 705 offers a FULL North America streetmaps SD chip which takes this model to the next level and beyond. The number of options are vast, and the display, battery life, etc. , are beyond belief. The 305 is still a good model, but I would not hesitate to move up to the 705, but you MUST get the North America streetmaps (deluxe bundle) or you won’t fully appreciate what a great device this is.

The base map is weak but there are plenty of good quality free maps online for where you live or plan to visit. Did not use it yet on a bike but reception indoors beats any GPS unit I ever tested, so it should be fine even in the deepest forest.
