A garmin is good, so is a shimano “flight deck”… that is neat because it shows which gear you are in!
what im thinking is you do not nead a GPS anyways. The world is meant to be looked at and you cant look at it when your head is burried in the computer trying to find out where you need to be. Get lost, thats some of the fun in it! Nothing like going down a road you have never been down only to realize it brings you out somewhere cool. If I was you I would just get a computer that picks up miles, rpm, distance…that type of stuff but you dont have to get one that shows you where to turn. lol. Bontrager Node 1 or 2
Flight Deck, uh, don’t you have to run Shi Ma NO for that? Wound up with an Edge 500. I like it so far. Was much more money than I’d liked but it’s a definite step up from the 305. If it’ll last ten years the cost can be “justified.”
Another good selling point is that the 500 works with the heart rate strap and cadence sensor from the 305. Save some bucks there. If you’re into power output the 500 can do that too if you’ve got the proper hardware on the bike.
Stephen you’ve got a point. Sometimes I too tend to get a little techy but the Garmin can be ignored until after the ride. Then it’s kinda fun to see heart rate, cadence, hills, speed, etc. I’ve had a Garmin for quite some time and have never used the mapping feature. I depend on Mike R or Bob C for that.
