Garmin Edge 705 MTB 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, 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. Just select "Transfer Data" to send your information to other Edge 705 units within a 3-meter range. Share, Store and Analyze You rode hard and now you want to store and analyse your workout. With a simple connection to your computer, you can join a worldwide network of cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts through Garmin Connect™ - our new, one-stop site for data analysis and sharing.

No it does not have an internal compass, it figures out direction from the GPS signal.

It does include an electronic compass, and you can view your altitude after the ride once you download your ride, but I do not think that it displays altitude during the ride.

Question
Does the MTB package have cadence?
I see that the road package mentions cadence being in the box but the MTB does not. Is the cadence sensors included? if not, what is it that makes them the same price?

sensor isn't included, only the heart rate sensor

answer 2
The cadence sensor is not included in the MTB Performance package. The Topo mapping product supplied with the MTB package is significantly more expensive than the road mapping supplied with the Road package. It provides detailed mapping of bridleways and trails, not included in the road mapping product.

You can buy the cadence sensor seperately if you buy the mtb package, but I have found that the cadence sensor is unreliable on a mtb. The sensor doesn't stay in place reliably when used off road.

Hope this helps.

As far as I can tell, Garmin sells the city navigator maps for most countries, but there are also free alternatives (not Garmin) that can be downloaded off the internet.

Road versions have detailed road mapping(city navigator software) The MTB version does not have this but the City software is available seperately on the site. You do not need to use Garmin heart rate monitors.
