*geek alert* Garmin Forerunner 305

My neighbor just bought the Garmin EDGE 305. It has all the bike functions included. You can download your trip onto google Earth and see your ride. It is awesome, I hope to get one soon. The pictures online don't do it justice. It is a little longer than a standard cyclocomputer, but is thinner. The pictures make it look a lot bigger. It is an awesome techno gadget.
Do any of these GPS doohickeys have live map display that can get you out of someplace if you get lost?
You can always "breadcrumb" your way out by following the track you came in on.
GPS HRM eh?
Again, what exactly does it do?

Using the software, you can load maps into it. I have been told you can download maps as well. There is also a feature that lets you record your speed and time on a given course, and they can compare thier time or race virtualy.robdamanii said:
There is also an attachment for your ride for $60 that tracks your cadence as well.
It's a cyclometer, you can switch between running and biking modes. (cadence, average speed, top speed, distance)BigMike said:
It's a GPS (maping, elevation, waypoints)
It's a heart rate monitor
All this and it's the size of a watch!
This is the EDGE?jimmydean said:

I don't think the forerunner has a cadence attachment. The Edge does.robdamanii said:

I like it because it's small (or smaller than the others anyway). I would use it more on my moto for GPS, but I thought it was cool. I've never been into the whole heart rate monitor thing, but since it has it, why not.
so did you get it?jimmydean said:
I'll be interested in what you think of it.
I will be getting it next payday when my moto is ready for the woods. I'm trying to find one locally, but so far nobody has it in stock.
If your heart stops, does the gps send a signal for help - like OnStar?
