| Garmin Edge 705 GPS cycle computer (with heart-rate monitor & Topo GB maps) I only bought this Garmin Edge 705 at the end of April, and it remains in as-new condition.  The full retail package is included:
The Garmin Edge 705 is as far as I know the best dedicated cycle training computer/GPS on the market. It's certainly impressive, and very user-friendly. I'm only selling it as I have no need for heart-rate data, and on balance I'm more comfortable with my old eTrex Vista HCx, even though it's a bit clunky for use on the bike. The Mapsource Topo GB maps are on a 2GB microSD card installed in the Edge 705. They are licensed for use on this unit only (based on hardware ID). I no longer have the original Mapsource DVD with the raw maps, but you can either buy this for an obscene amount of money, or rip it off from the usual sources. However, if you do the latter, be prepared to spend an inordinate amount of time downloading the ISO and figuring out how to get it all working properly (fine if you zero-rate your time). For a Mac-owning buyer, I can supply processed maps for installation on their computer, for use with Garmin programs such as Training Center and BaseCamp. Without Topo GB (or similar), you are limited to the firmware-based Garmin base map, which shows only major roads and other features, and is no good for navigation purposes. Price: £240 (excl. postage) Location: London SE3 (Blackheath) | |
