FEATURES:

Trainer. Navigator. Edge 705 pushes you to do your best, then shows you the way back. This GPS-enabled cycle computer knows no limits. Get heart rate, cadence, turn-by-turn directions, power data (from ANT+Sport™-enabled third-party power meters) — the works. Even share your data with other Edge 705 buddies after your ride. All wireless with a color display, this is no ordinary cycle computer.

Navigate Your Ride
Lose yourself in the ride without losing your way. Edge 705 comes with a built-in basemap, plus it has a microSD™ card slot for adding map detail and storing workouts, courses and saved rides. Just plug in detailed MapSource® City Navigator® street maps on a preloaded data card and get turn-by-turn directions on a sunlight-readable, color display as you pedal.

Get the Data You Need
Edge 705 automatically measures your speed, distance, time, calories burned, altitude, climb and descent, and records this data for your review¹. 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.

See Your Power
Edge 705 works with third-party ANT+Sport-enabled power meters 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.

Measures Heart Rate and Cadence
Garmin’s innovative ANT+Sport wireless technology means you get heart rate and speed/cadence data with no strings attached. A wireless heart rate monitor measures your heart rate and tracks your heart rate zone. Also included is 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.

Swap Rides Wirelessly
You can share your courses, workouts and saved rides wirelessly with other Edge 705 users. Now you can prove that 20-mile uphill climb with a 2000-foot elevation gain. Better yet, send it to your buddy to ride. Sharing data is easy. Just select "Transfer Data" to send your information to other Edge 705 units within a 3-meter range.

Share, Store and Analyze
You rode hard and now you want to store and analyze your workout. With a simple connection to your computer, you can join a worldwide network of cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts through Garmin Connect™ — our new, one-stop site for data analysis and sharing.

How can GTC improve my training?

Your Garmin fitness product records an incredible amount of data from your workout or activity. Garmin Training Center saves this data and helps you review and analyze it. You can also create, save and schedule workouts and transfer them to your fitness device.

Review your workout data, including pace/speed, distance, time, calories burned; and if available, heart rate, cadence and detailed elevation.

View a detailed graph of your workout data in GTC, plotted over time or distance.

View a map of your workout that shows the exact path you traveled. (Maps are not available with Forerunner 50 activities.)

Categorize your workout history according to type of activity.

Review previous workouts, which are saved by day and week.

Create customized workouts with specific goals and rest intervals. Then send them to your fitness device (Forerunner 201 cannot load workouts from GTC).

Schedule workouts for a specific day with GTC's calendar. GTC even comes with several workout templates designed by the experts at TrainingPeaks.com. TrainingPeaks provides custom training plans for
beginning, intermediate and advanced athletes training for all types of events.
