NotSoBigBen Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 What are the differences between a 305 and 705 besides the colour screen?
IanJ Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 Quite a few but the main one is that you can download maps to the 705 and it can then navigate to a destination. The colour screen is larger and much more readable than the 305. I also found the 705 more reliable than the 305, I went through 4 305's in 18 months (all swapped out under warranty).Don't think you would need it but you can also use power meter type thingies with the 705.
bruce Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 305 does not do maps, so no routing, mapping functions. Also, 705 has much bigger memory, and supports Ant+ powermeters.
scotty Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 I have both and no problems with either but prefer the 705 although i dont use all the features on it.
Daxiet Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 From the sales specs the 705 is claimed to have 15 hrs battery life and I think the 305 8hrs. That could just be sales pitch. I have the 705, but find the Auto Pause/Resume feature almost unusable on an MTB. If you lock up the rear wheel it auto pauses immediately when riding technical stretches it often does the same. Simple feature, but they never programmed the device to have have a small delay if the speed goes from X to 0 instantly. Does have a delay for controlled stop.

Karl Beaton Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 all i can say is ... you will not be sorry using the 705. it is a great piece of equipment
cyclingfan Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 Anybody now where I can find the Bela Bela route tried motion based with no luck.
cyclingfan Posted April 21, 2009 Posted April 21, 2009 Suppose I am stupid. I searched under the province the name and the distance but could not find anything.
Guest Agteros Posted May 1, 2009 Posted May 1, 2009 Have a look at http://trail.motionbased.com/trail/activity/5761218Looks like the long race http://connect.garmin.com/activity/16485086
