Garmin Edge 705 Road Performance Package

Trainer. Navigator. Edge 705 pushes you to do your best, then shows you the way back. This GPS-enabled cycle computer knows no limits. Get heart rate, cadence, turn-by-turn directions, power data (from ANT+™-enabled third-party power metres) - the works. Even share your data with other Edge 705 friends after your ride. All wireless with a colour display, this is no ordinary cycle computer. Navigate Your Ride Lose yourself in the ride without losing your way. Edge 705 comes with a built-in basemap, plus it has a microSD™ card slot for adding map detail and storing workouts, courses and saved rides. Just plug in detailed MapSource® City Navigator® street maps on a preloaded data card and get turn-by-turn directions on a sunlight-readable, colour display as you pedal. Add optional topo mapping for your off-road adventures. Edge snaps easily into the included bike mount to guide you to your destination. Get the Data You Need Available in 3 versions (see versions tab), Edge 705 comes bundled with different accessories to keep you on top of your ride. Edge 705 automatically measures your speed, distance, time, calories burned, altitude, climb and descent, and records this data for your review¹. For extra-precise climb and descent data, Edge also incorporates a barometric altimeter to pinpoint changes in elevation. It features a high-sensitivity receiver that holds a signal under trees and near tall buildings, and comes with a click stick for easy screen navigation. See Your Power Edge 705 works with third-party ANT+Sport-enabled power metres (check back soon to view list of compatible devices) to display your power output in watts as you ride. This valuable data shows you how hard you're working, regardless of conditions affecting your ride, so you can train smarter. Get a competitive advantage by viewing power output along with Edge data all on the same display and storing this information to analyse your workout. Measure Heart Rate and Cadence Garmin's innovative ANT+Sport wireless technology means you get heart rate and speed data with no strings attached. All versions of Edge 705 include a wireless heart rate monitor to measure your heart rate and track your heart rate zone. Some packages also include a speed/cadence sensor to monitor your pedaling cadence and wheel speed as you ride. You can even use it to train indoors because the sensor attaches to your rear wheel, not the front like most other computer systems. Swap Rides Wirelessly With Edge 705 you can share your courses, workouts and saved rides wirelessly with other Edge 705 users. Now you can prove that 20-mile uphill climb with a 2000-foot elevation gain. Better yet, send it to your friend to ride. Sharing data is easy.

How large is the font size for HR and cadence info?

It really depends on how you have the Edge 705 set up. You can have up to 8 different sections displayed on the main screen. I use 6 windows, as this is all I feel I need. The top 2, my most important parameters - heart rate and cadence - are displayed in quite a large font size, I would say 22/24 point. The other 4 windows are slightly smaller and sometimes, when you are going quite fast and the road surface is not very smooth and you have sunglasses on and the sun is in the wrong direction, it can be hard to read the data in the 4 smaller windows. But, certainly not impossible, and in any event how much data do you need to know second by second by second.
I guess, if you only want 2 or 3 lots of data, all the windows would be very big and a lot easier to see. The great thing about the Edge 705 is that you can get it to display what you want where you want!
I hope this helps.

It depends upon how much information you want on the screen. You can program to display up to 8 bits of data. I normally need glasses to read, but I can see the information clearly ( font about 7mm). You can program to show less information, in which case the information is bigger (about 11mm).

answer 5
The 705 has two displays which you can switch between. Each can be divided up into up to eight sections. In each section you can display any of the live (speed/cadence/etc) or calculated (average etc) stats.

At their largest (1 or 2 items displayed) the characters are about 14mm tall, so quite large and easy to read at a glance. You can also adjust the contrast and backlight to make the text easier to read.

My preference is to have one screen showing just speed and cadence, and another with 8 smaller items with some more detailed ride break down for cafe stop statistics.

I think so, if you have the cadence sensor there is a magnet attached to the rear wheel.

The Edge features multiple bike setups but not multiple users. You can switch from one bike to another and get accurate readouts but you can't log in as a different user to keep data separated on the device under different accounts.
