Garmin Edge 705 cyclists GPS
BHIP Ltd - quick summary : Straight out of the box, the new Garmin Edge 705 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 with heart rate monitoring in less than 5 minutes.
IMPROVED MAPS and PRE-PLANNING ROUTES
INCREASE your mapping capabilites : We are also pleased to supply the official GARMIN CITY NAVIGATOR Street Map software for the whole of Europe for only £69.99 (Garmin srp is £79.99). This software is supplied on a MicroSD card for direct installation in to your Garmin Edge 605/705. This enhanced software offers far greater detail than the BASE MAP supplied with the unit. To view map details, please click here GARMIN CITY NAVIGATOR - this will open in a new window. The CITY NAVIGATOR map is loaded IN TO your Edge 705, it is NOT installed on a PC and does not allow for pre-planning of routes, although you may perform street name look ups etc.
If you want to PRE-PLAN a route on your PC (great for Lands End to John O Groats etc...) - , then download that route to your Edge 705 (complete or in day by day routes), you need the Garmin Great Britain TOPO DVD - sold for £129.99 with the Edge 705 (srp is £149.99). Please note - the TOPO DVD is NOT MAC compatible

What the difference between the Garmin EDGE 605 and Garmin EDGE 705? : The Garmin Edge 605 does NOT have the capability to support HEART RATE or PEDAL CADENCE. It is NOT an optional add on. Also, the Garmin Edge 705 has a BAROMETRIC pressure sensor giving more accurate altitude variation during climbs and ascents. The Garmin Edge 605 relies on GPS for it's altitude data.

It's finally here - the long awaited Garmin Edge 705 – the latest innovations in the popular line of Garmin GPS based integrated personal training systems for recreational and advanced cyclists. The Garmin Edge 705 provides mapping capabilities, street navigation and a 2.2” colour display in addition to tracking vertical profiles, climb and descent, altitude, speed, distance, heart rate, cadence (if supplied), power (optional with SRM unit) and time.
The Garmin Edge 705 represents several breakthroughs in cycling technology, including SRM (power units) compatibility and wireless unit-to-unit connectivity. Through collaborative efforts with SRM — a pioneer in mobile power diagnostics for bicycles — Garmin for the first time gives cyclists the opportunity to monitor GPS position, power, heart rate, speed, cadence, altitude and gradient on the same display. And Garmin Edge 705 users will be able to share their information – including courses, waypoints and workouts – with each other through ANT+Sport™ wireless technology.
ANT+Sport technology allows the Garmin Edge 705 to interface wirelessly with a heart rate monitor, cadence sensor or other Edge units. Cyclists can share courses and workout data before, during or after a ride. When paired with an optional power meter from SRM, the Edge 705 measures power – torque and cadence for each leg at the pedals – which is often cited as a true indicator of an efficient ride.
The mapping capabilities on the Edge 605 and Edge 705 allow cyclists to truly get lost in their ride without losing their way. Both units come with turn-by-turn routing to destinations based on built-in maps and optional detailed street or topographical maps on preloaded data cards.
Altitude is recorded using a barometric altimeter for the Edge 705. This accurate altitude data makes it much easier for cyclists to match their altitude profile with their speed, cadence, and heart rate during post-ride analysis. Note - The Garmin Edge 605 measures altitude through GPS positioning.
Whether you need to know where you’ve been, where you’re going, how long it’s taking or how high you’re climbing, the Garmin Edge 705 offers the answers. The Garmin Edge 705 display the customisable data fields on large colour screens, and the addition of a click stick helps users navigate through the various options. Sleek, waterproof and durable, the Edge uses a high-sensitivity GPS receiver to sustain reception in the most challenging conditions, such as heavy tree cover or “urban canyons” created by tall buildings. It attaches to either the stem or handlebars of the bicycle, and is designed for easy removal at the end of the workout.
The Garmin Edge 705 heart rate monitor uses a robust wireless technology that eliminates cross-talk and interference and delivers real-time heart rate data exclusively to the user’s device. This data is stored with each track point for in-depth post-workout analysis. The Edge 705 with speed/cadence sensor incorporates a self-calibrating, wireless speed/cadence sensor that mounts to the rear chain stay of the bicycle. The speed / cadence sensor will also allow riders to record speed and distance data while turbo training indoors.
Customizing the Garmin Edge is achieved using several innovative features:
• Workouts: Design workouts with multiple steps based on time, distance, calories or heart rate. Establishes workout targets based on speed, calories, cadence and heart rate (heart rate is standard on Edge 705, speed/cadence sensor is optional).
• Virtual Partner: Team up with a virtual training partner that provides continuous feedback. Depicts a digital cyclist (desired speed) in relation to the user’s real-time speed and notifies if ahead or behind desired target.
• Courses: Cyclists can race against a pre-recorded course and match previously set speeds at every point of the way, or navigate a brand new route. Combined with the Virtual Partner, this means that riders can race themselves (or other Edge users) over their regular rides, and see their real-time race position.
• Bike Computer: Customizable bike computer screen shows up to 16 different data fields across 2 screens. The user may customize the display for the size and placement of the data.
• Auto Pause: Pauses the timer when the user’s speed drops below a pre-set threshold.
• Alerts: Program alerts to sound if the user strays outside the range of speed, heart rate, or cadence values. Alerts can also indicate when a set amount of time or distance has passed.
When used with Garmin Connect — Garmin’s new and improved online training site — the Garmin Edge’s benefits continue long after the workout. By pairing the Edge 705 or Edge 605 with Garmin Connect, users can join a worldwide network of cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts and log their workouts, track their totals, share workouts and participate in an online community. They can also search and download routes uploaded by other users.

For extra-precise climb and descent data, Edge also incorporates a barometric altimeter to pinpoint changes in elevation. It features a high-sensitivity receiver that holds a signal under trees and near tall buildings, and comes with a click stick for easy screen navigation.
Garmin EDGE 705 - See Your Power
Garmin Edge 705 works with third-party ANT+Sport-enabled power meters (check back soon to view list of compatible devices) to display your power output in watts as you ride. This valuable data shows you how hard you're working, regardless of conditions affecting your ride, so you can train smarter. Get a competitive advantage by viewing power output along with Edge data all on the same display and storing this information to analyze your workout.
Garmin EDGE 705 - Measure Heart Rate and Cadence
Garmin’s innovative ANT+Sport wireless technology means you get heart rate and speed/cadence data with no strings attached. All versions of Garmin Edge 705 include a wireless heart rate monitor to measure your heart rate and track your heart rate zone. Some packages also include a speed/cadence sensor to monitor your pedaling cadence and wheel speed as you ride. You can even use it to train indoors because the sensor attaches to your rear wheel.
