Garmin Edge 305

Discontinued. Replaced by the Garmin Edge 500 >>

The Edge 305 is Garmin's GPS-enabled, personal trainer and cycle computer. For advanced cyclists, the Edge 305 comes packaged with either a heart rate monitor (Edge 205HR) or wireless speed/pedaling cadence sensor (Edge 305CAD) to provide valuable feedback. Heart rate and speed cadence are also sold separately as accessories so you can incorporate both features into your training. In addition, the Edge 305 incorporates a barometric altimeter for extremely accurate elevation and vertical profile data. Recreational cyclists looking for the perfect touring companion and fitness partner will love the Edge 205.

The Edge 305 has the ability to measure pedaling cadence, heart rate, speed, distance, time, calories burned, altitude, climb and descent, plus much more. 305 features include:
• Easy-to-install-no calibration required. Just snap it in the included bike mount and go
• High-sensitivity GPS receiver-knows your position even in tree cover and canyons, making it extremely reliable for navigation
• Customizable cycle computer-shows up to eight different data fields for continuous feedback
• Virtual PartnerT-lets you "race" a virtual competitor, making training fun
• Courses-lets you "race" against a recorded course to try to match previously set speeds at every point along the way
• Auto PauseT-pauses the training timer when you slow down below a specified speed and resumes when you speed up again so you can focus on your ride
• Auto Lap T-automatically triggers a lap every time you pass a specified location or travel a preset distance
• Training Center software-gives you the ability to create workouts, manage and download courses, and create a detailed post-ride analysis that charts your performance

The Edge 305 with heart rate (Edge 305HR) lets you see whether you are training too hard or not enough. The heart rate monitor uses a robust wireless technology that eliminates cross-talk and interference and sends heart rate data to the Edge via a soft, comfortable chest strap. This data is stored with each track point for post-workout analysis.

The Edge 305 with cadence (Edge 305CAD) includes a self-calibrating, wireless speed/cadence sensor so you can monitor your pedaling cadence as you ride. Like the heart rate monitor, the speed/cadence sensor uses the same robust wireless technology to measure and report your pedaling strokes per minute.

With its waterproof, sleek design, the Edge is the perfect companion on any bike, and attaches to either the stem or handlebars. Its rugged case frames an easy-to-read, large, backlit display that can show up to eight different data fields along with altitude and a map view.

Included Training Center software gives you the ability to overlay your ride data onto a course map. It offers interactive analysis tools that measure your speed, distance, climb, and descent against varying terrain, elevation and more. Create and schedule custom workouts or use workout templates and download to the Edge.
