Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Add maps and find motivation with Edge 605. This GPS-enabled cycle computer comes loaded with everything you need to make the most out of your ride. Get cycle computer data and mapping detail, all from one compact, easy-to-use device. You can even store, analyze and share your stats for the world to see with Garmin’s online training community. With a color display and ultra-cool training features, Edge 605 has it all.
Navigate Your Ride
Lose yourself in the ride without losing your way. Edge 605 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 optional, 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. Add optional topo mapping for your off-road adventures. Edge snaps easily into the included bike mount to guide you to your destination.
Get the Data You Need
The rugged Edge 605 automatically measures your speed, distance, time, calories burned and altitude. For even more detailed data, get Edge 705, which can track your heart rate, cadence, power (from optional ANT + Sport™-enabled third-party power meters), climb and descent. Both feature a high-sensitivity receiver that holds a signal under trees and near tall buildings and have a click stick for easy screen navigation. Like the rest of the Edge family, Edge 605 comes with lots of cool features to keep you on top of your ride:
Virtual Partner® lets you race a virtual competitor over a specified distance and speed.
Courses let you race against a previously recorded workout, so you can compare your current and past performances over the same ride.
Auto Pause® pauses the timer when you slow down or stop and resumes when you speed up again, so you can focus on your ride.
Auto Lap® automatically starts a new lap each time you pass a specified location or travel a preset distance.
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. Also upload to optional Garmin Training Center® software for further analysis.

4.0 out of 5 stars
In the context of cycling, it's pretty good,

I love it. Great battery life, good accuracy, easy to use. Good for spontaneous cycles into the unknown with route back and route to 'home' features. The software is completely pants so I wouldn't bother with it aside from the online version - useful to check out your route on google maps and that's about it. I find the waypoint feature really handy, though the only easy way to add new ones to to actually be there. Other negative it that you really need to buy an SD map or you only get the UK A and M roads. Overall I definitely recommend it if you have the spare cash and a annoying habit of getting lost otherwise.

Good, but not perfect,
By daunbailo "in Darwin veritas" (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Garmin Edge 605 GPS-enabled Cycle Trainer and Navigator (Electronics)
I wanted a GPS device to help me explore roads on my bike - I seem to spend a lot of my time standing at crossroads with a map in my hand. It has been good at helping me do that but not perfect. It is really designed to log your route and not to guide you, so getting it to navigate takes a little fiddling at the beginning. Get a City Navigator map (not a topo) and then plan your routes on a PC. I use bikehike.co.uk for the important reason that it allows me to export GPXX files, which don't have the 100 waypoint limit, which is a bizarre and arbitrary limit for normal GPX files. The Edge will then guide you along the route, beeping to warn you of upcoming junctions and generally keeping you on track. It is slightly buggy, starts slowly and occasionally just gets so confused it closes down - but it has still allowed me to plan long rides in areas I didn't know and get there and back safely. It has also admirably survived a monstrous downpour! All in all, a good product but I do occasionally call it names...

Always buy the maps!,
By Tancredi (Manchester) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Garmin Edge 605 GPS-enabled Cycle Trainer and Navigator (Electronics)
Not quiet the finished article , but when loaded with the appropriate maps,(the base map is worse than useless) its a great navigation tool.The plus points, as mentioned above are the battery life, the easy of fitting to the bike and the accuracy. You can insert a new waypoint without actually goung there if you have the lat/ long co ordinates as there is the facility to change the details of any waypoint. Shame you cant plan a route as you can on the Quest, but its the best bike navigator/ speedo/ altimeter etc!
