Looks pretty sweet, but the article says it's bigger than the 705, which is already huge.

Oh Garmin, satiating the nerdwank needs of 50 y/o dentists globally.

Finding you way around may be easy where you live but putting together a bike friendly route and remembering it all is not easy here in NYC.

I write directions on my arm in sharpie. Or fold up the Google maps directions in my pocket.

Then again, my sense of direction isn't terrible. And I was a messenger...being lost on a bike is pretty natural.

You are really good.

Figures, I *just bought a 605 last freakin' week. Oh well, I needed a GPS, glad I have it, it'll work for me.

The roads here in CT are f'ing insane, sooo easy to wander off the beaten path and all of a sudden you have no idea where you are. I miss Cali for easy routes...

I think they're saying the screen size is bigger, but I think I read that the unit is a bit smaller than the 705 in overall size.

No, you may have been right. That's a 305 shown, and next to it, the new one looks to be relatively about the same as a 705.

This is good news, maybe I'll be able to pickup a 705 used for cheap now!
