    Sorry to hijack, but wondered if anyone knew if you can upload workouts to the 705 from Garmin training centre. Was looking at getting one of these myself.

    Yes you can. once uploaded you can view route as well as data for cadence, speed. elevation, heart rate, gradient, time etc etc and look at your zones too!!!

    stokepa31, Tony is asking if you can upload from Training Centre to the 705?

    I don't know, as I haven't tried, but I believe you can.

    I have had my 705 since last August, and it has transformed the cycling experience for me. A truly amazing piece of kit. It even makes indoor turbo sessions interesting!! Wish I'd bought one ages ago.

    My trainer wants to dunk my Edge 605 in water then smash it with a hammer, he cringes when I even talk about it, he wants me to ride without all these gadgets, but I'm a 20 year old brought up into a technology rich world I tell him, I can't live without GPS!!!!!!!!!!!!
