4 out of 5 stars Works as advertised August 31, 2008
R. J. Darling (Salt Lake City, UT USA)
If you're looking to train for events or just want to know your progress, this is a nice piece of gear. Easy to install (all pickups are bluetooth wireless and "pair up" without any effort). I have a fairly high heart rate for a guy over 60 (MAX 190), so my biking buddies aren't much help when trying to determine "zones". I had a VO2 and lactate performance "test" and it resulted in exactly the same conclusion I found using the Garmin (166 is my sustainable climbing MAX).

You can setup training routes, a virtual training "partner", etc.

If I had it to do over, I'd do the same thing.


5 out of 5 stars Great speedometer, HR monitor and data collector August 28, 2008
Matthew Perry (Santa Barbara, CA)
Very easy to install and configure. The bike mount is a little bit flimsy but it works. It is easy to transfer between bikes (not the cadence meter though). GPS reception is fantastic - on out-and-back courses I can clearly see which side of the road I was riding on. So far it has proven to be waterproof and I have not had issues with the battery life (I haven't ridden with it for more than 4 hours though). While riding there is a whole slew of info to look at but I tend to look at speed, time , distance and HR zone. All the rest is icing on the cake. After the ride, the data collected by the 305 becomes the cornerstone of a digital training diary - I can compare speeds, grade and HR on various portions of my favorite routes, plot elevation profiles, view the data in google earth, etc. It is a data analysts dream.



2 out of 5 stars Nice unit but software is poorly designed as are the mounting brackets August 22, 2008
Matthew D. Hickey (Portland, Oregon United States)
The brackets are poorly desinged or designed with the purposeful intention of breaking such that you have to buy new ones. Mine broke and a car ran over my GPS. Nice work Garmin.
The software provided by Garmin is also poorly desinged and my unit alway had a hard time connectiong to my computer.


1 out of 5 stars Round One August 8, 2008
Larry
I had a bad experience with the first mountain biking ride. The Edge 305 shut off repeatedly with every bump.

Garmin sent a postage paid return label and will send a new unit. Stay tuned for "Round Two"


5 out of 5 stars Great product August 5, 2008
M. Dowdle (CA USA)
So far so good. I have had numerous cycling computers and this one is the best by far. Collects all of the data I need. Wireless is, so far, flawless. Garmin Training Center software is intuitive and easy to navigate. Would definitely recommend this product.
