Hi.
I recently borrowed a mate's 'Garmin Forerunner' for a bike ride, and was quite impressed with it. I've since been loooking on the 'net at the fiteness GPS systems, and wondered if anyone has used the 'Garmin Edge' system?
I don't want to be spending a fortune, but I'd like it to measure speed, distance, altitude etc., and also have the interval, virtual trainer options too.
Has anyone used the 'Garmin Edge 205'? Is it a good buy?
Cheers

I've got the 305, got it about 2 years ago from PC World. They've had them on offer for £99 I think or £49 for the 205!!!!
I really like it and use it on most rides. I use it with Memory Map and plot rides on it and look where I've been when I get back.
I did use the heart monitor (only with the 305) when I first got it but the novelty soon wore off!
If you can get one on offer then I'd say it's well worth it. The only negative is the battery life is only about 6-7 hours so all day rides might cause issues!0
