(More customer reviews)Garmin Edge 205 GPS Unit Edge 205, One SizeOnce you own a Garmin 205, you'll get rid of the rest of your bike odometers. Buy the extra mounts for your other bikes. No need for wires, magnets, batteries, etc... For a short term use, it even works pretty well in a shirt or bike bag pocket. Otherwise mount it and enjoy
It does recharge pretty quickly, however, it does need AC. Battery life 8-12 hrs
It does recharge from a PC USB port as well as AC, so it is convenient to recharge at home, but not so good for tours and multi-day trips.
I have had mine for over 2 years now and it has functioned almost flawlessly.
The Garmin Training Center software for uploading and reviewing the rides is kinda basic especially for maps. However, it does provide exports to a number of other websites for conversions and mapping. You can export to Google and see your ride in the satelite view. Nice for planning future route extensions.
You can use as personal trainer, monitoring calories, speed, distance, set up courses improve your time.
It can provide some limited course routing as well. The return home feature works nicely for going back along the route you went out on. You can also load a follow a predefined course. The display is pretty basic for these features, but they do work.
Utube has good coverage of how to use!
