Pros: Sensitive receiver, small, lightweight, does the job designed for well.
Cons: Included software isn't the best. No keylock. Limited GPS navigation.
The Bottom Line: The Edge 305 scores well because it is brilliant at what it does. If the software niggles described can be overcome the Edge 305 could well get 5 stars.

Pros: Awsome unit for tracking your rides.
Cons: Garmin tries to rip you off by making you pay $12 a month
The Bottom Line: The unit is great, but Garmin can't be forgiven for fleecing us with 'MotionBased' scam

Pros: tons of info
Cons: unreliable
The Bottom Line: Buy it only if you get an extended warranty and have a back-up training tool to use when it is in for repair (frequently)
