Garmin have launched the Edge 605 which is aimed at bike users. The 605 is a slightly cut down version of the Edge 705. The differences are that the 705 has a heart rate monitor, barometric altimeter and wireless data capabilities which allow you to share data with other Edge 705 users.
Garmin Edge 605 Features
A cool feature of the Garmin Edge 605 is the ability to record courses. What this feature allows you to do is record a ride and then compete against the same ride and compare times. If you do not want to pre record a course then you have the option of downloading pre determined courses from the Garmin website. While racing, you will see a virtual partner on screen travelling at the previous course time speeds. I can see this feature alone being something that will get many bike riders attention.
Workouts are also an option where you can increase your pace and be encouraged to go that little bit faster and push your self a little bit harder. I can see why the 705 needs a heart rate monitor as it does sound tiring trying to keep up with the thing!
