Bicycle: Garmin Edge GPS

singfree

Has anyone ever used a bicycle GPS? It looks very interesting, but I really don't know a lot about it. Your comments, please?

I also would be interested. When I get a road bike I plan to get one because I think my cats eye cyclocomputer won't be able to meet my needs at that point. Plus it doesn't have power or cadence, which for distance cycling won't be any good for me.

I would check out this link:

From there you can access info on all 3 Garmin Edge models. The users on REI tend to be pretty knowledgeable and I find the customer feedback reports invaluable when deciding on a new purchase.

You could also try amazon.com--they also tend to have pretty good reviews, although I don't think they are consistently as good as REI users for this type of product.

I read through some of them and they were mixed concerning the Edge 305. I would definitely do some research.

If you want to try just a simple speed/distance GPS without the other cycling features, you could always try one of the Garmin wrist GPS systems. They will work just fine for 1/3 the cost--just limited data.
