I couldn't get the 705 to work with memory map and ended up using www.bikeroutetoaster.com to create the [delete:maps] course and download as tcx files then garmin training centre to send them to the Edge 705. But then I've got the city navigator maps on the 705 so when I follow a course its got detailed'ish maps on board.--

My 705 wouldn't work with memory map either so I just used the Garmin topo maps instead.0

I know the drawback with the 305 is that the software does not use standard route or track files.... they use their own format which is why there is a difference.
You will need to use a third part conversion,It would appear that this is the same with the 705<b><i>He that buys land buys many stones.

Update/patch MM under the "web" menu in the software (assuming you have MM 5). I had to do this before it would work.
I use MM 5 (version 5.2.7 build 890) to plot my routes and upload it to my 705. I also export the file to my MM at the end and it gives me all the data on the GPS track.Paul0 -
