Garmin Edge 205 Cycling GPS

Overview

• One of the most sensitive GPS we've tested - works under cover or inside a vehicle
• True fitness partner - including personal trainer and cycle computer
• Includes Training Centre Software to analyse and create courses

For training, touring or recreational cycling, the lightweight Edge 205 is a true fitness partner. It measures speed, distance travelled, calories, and compares course times with your personal history. It comes with a clamp for your bike, so it's easy to see the screen for directions to go, and how far you've gone.

With its waterproof, sleek design, the Edge is the perfect companion on any bike, and attaches to either the stem or handlebars. Its rugged case frames an easy-to-read, large, backlit display that can show up to eight different data fields along with altitude and a map view.

Included Training Center software gives you the ability to overlay your ride data onto a course map. It offers interactive analysis tools that measure your speed, distance, climb, and descent against varying terrain, elevation and more. Create and schedule custom workouts or use workout templates and download to the Edge.

The Edge 205 measures speed, distance, time, calories burned, altitude, plus much more. 205 features include:

• Easy-to-install - no calibration required. Just snap it in the included bike mount and go
• High-sensitivity GPS receiver - knows your position even in tree cover and urban or natural canyons, making it extremely reliable for navigation
• Training data: Speed, distance, lap by position, elevation, average and max speed, calories burned, climb and descent. (Heart rate and cadence can be measured with the Model 305)
• Customizable cycle computer - shows up to eight different data fields for continuous feedback
