Garmin Edge 205 GPS receiver

From: $155.98

Take your ride to the next level with the Edge 205 Motorcycle Navigator, Garmin's GPS-enabled personal trainer and cycle computer. Whether you're a competitive racer or weekend cyclist, Edge will help you achieve your personal best. Rugged, lightweight Edge 205 attaches easily to the stem or handlebars of your bike with the included bike mount. Just turn it on, acquire GPS satellites and go. Edge automatically measures your speed, distance, time, calories burned and altitude, and records this data for your review. For even more detailed data, get the Edge 305, which can track your heart rate, cadence, climb and descent. Other Edge Motorcycle Navigator features Virtual Partner lets you race a virtual competitor over a specified distance and speed. Courses let you race against a previously recorded workout, so you can compare your current and past performances over the same ride. Auto Pause pauses the timer when you slow down or stop and resumes when you speed up again, so you can focus on your ride. Auto Lap automatically starts a new lap each time you pass a specified location or travel a preset distance.

From: Amazon Posted: Sep 23, 2008 Type: User Review watch out for refurbished units sold as new

At least one dishonest Amazon vendor (Buy Accessories) is selling overhauled/refurbished units as new. Play it safe and only buy from Amazon itself.

Other than that, it looks great; have not used it yet. Buy a USB emergency battery...

This is the second Edge 205 I have purchased for my wife. The first one quit taking a charge after about 1.5 years and to maintain domestic bliss I bought another for her. She really likes it and uses it on her rides several times a week.

From: Amazon Posted: Jun 24, 2008 Type: User Review Sketchy Performance as a Cycling Computer

I used this GPS/computer for a year and would not rate it very highly for price versus performance. Its good points: trivial to move from one bike to another (I've even thrown it in a back pocket to record a workout), reasonable accuracy for...

This is the best gadget I ever bought for my bike. It allows me to go riding places I never was before and still feel a "local".

I have the Garmin nuvi 660 for my car, and I love it. I was expecting somthing similar for my bike, but I was very dissapointed. I guess I was expecting some type of navigation. For the price, I would have been happier with one of the more...

From: Amazon Posted: Apr 22, 2008 Type: User Review Excellent choice for Bicycle computer!

One of the best choices I have made for a Bike computer to date. This device is built well, accurate, and has all the info needed for the avid rider. The software needed has a bit of a learning curve...but one gets used to it in a short time....

From: Amazon Posted: Mar 06, 2008 Type: User Review Battery Life

This computer is basically unusable for long rides. The battery life is a major problem. I am getting around 2 1/2 hours of battery life, which is not enough for a long ride. I am very disappointed.

From: NexTag Reviewed by: Kris Posted: Nov 21, 2007 Type: User Review Great training tool

I have been using my 205 for about two months strictly for cycling. It has been a great trainging aid for my bike rides. The virtual training partner is off the hook. I would recommend the Garmin 205 to anyone wanting to keep track of their bike ride
