Garmin Edge 605 - in stock now !!
BHIP Ltd - quick review : Straight out of the box, the new Garmin Edge 605 is ready for work. It comes with a basic, but essential, European Base Map. What this means is that you have all major motorways, "A" roads and most significant "B" roads. Just locate the destination where you want to ride, click with the pointer, and select "Go To" via "road" and the unit will generate a TURN by TURN route map for you. It's that easy... we had it up and running in less than 5 minutes.
