Beware of deceptive Amazon pricing policy. I purchased on 8/26 at $649.99 from Amazon. I needed to pull up item today (9/1) on Amazon.com to get order details so I could write Garmin for City Navigator SD card instructions (City Navigator SD card does not come with any instructions) and was shocked to see that the same item is now being sold for $100 less. I called Amazon customer service to inquire about price guarantee. I was told that if Amazon itself is not selling product at the lower price, they will not provide price guarantee. So, buyer beware, whatever price you see Amazon offering might not be the best pricing they offer on their site, and if they under-cut their pricing a moment after you place your order by posting a lower price of another re-seller, it’s your loss! Just bad Amazon pricing policy and a bad Amazon branding policy that creates a lousy Amazon buying experience. Take this risk into consideration as you buy this item.

This product is misleading. There is discussion on this page and Garmin’s website that documents it as having features that it does not have. The fine details show that they are actually talking about the Edge 705, not the 605. If you buy this, do so knowing that the Speed/Cadence sensor does not work with this device. The heart rate sensor does not work with this device. In fact, no ANT+Sport sensors work with this device. If you want any of those features, you are looking at the wrong product. Review the Edge 705 instead.

If you’re unsure, go to Garmin’s website, find this product and click on the “Compare These” link. Select the 605 and the 705 to see just how little the 605 really does.

I’ve owned several Garmin sport GPSs (Forerunner, Edge, etc.). The Edge 305 was OK, but you couldn’t really “use” the GPS until you got home and downloaded your data – after the fact. The new 705 offers a FULL North America streetmaps SD chip which takes this model to the next level and beyond. The number of options are vast, and the display, battery life, etc., are beyond belief. The 305 is still a good model, but I would not hesitate to move up to the 705, but you MUST get the North America streetmaps (deluxe bundle) or you won’t fully appreciate what a great device this is.

I must start by saying that I don’t live in a big city, so I’m not exactly using the 605 as a commuting tool or for directions. I live in central Florida (a place with few elevation changes) and cycle cross country. The altitude has always been spot on, as have the speed readings, % grade, and positioning. The training function is a GREAT tool for those who intend to use it for its intended pupose – training. Every ride I go on is saved into the history with detailed information on each ride – elevation graphs, average speed, top speed, etc. I can race a blip on the GPS map of a stored trail to better my lap times. Marking all of the 16-35 mile off-road loops is so nice and neat to see exactly what the trail is shaped like and what to expect right ahead of you.
The only reason I can see how this can be bad in ANY way is if you plan on using this for primarily on-road purposes. If so, you’ll have to buy a programmed SD card with updated road maps. Otherwise, you can trust Garmin to uphold is reputation in accurate satellite positioning.
