 Good But With Some Problems, By
This review is from: Garmin Edge 605 Bicycle Monitor with GPS (Electronics)
I think that the previous reviews for the 605 are a bit harsh. Let me get right to the negatives of the product as I see it. 1. The route algoritm allows you to select an option where it diverts you around major highways and roads. While this works 90% of the time, every so often it will direct me right onto a major highway or traffic circle when there are better routes available. 2. Backlighting settings not being saved is a pain as the other reviewer mentioned 3. The straps that the 605 comes with to attach to your bike aren’t strong enough. After a few rides my 605 tends to move around to much requiring constant re-adjustment, especially on bumpy roads. I plan on adding some velcro to the back which should solve the problem 4. The free Training Center software that you can use with the 605 is pretty much a waste. Outside of storing your rides and keeping a history of ride statistics, it’s not worth the download. 5…

 Terrible., By
White Lightning (Brooklyn, NY) – See all my reviews
This review is from: Garmin Edge 605 Bicycle Monitor with GPS (Electronics)
I bought the 605 for a couple of reasons. First was the turn-by-turn directions. What Garmin is vague about is that to get turn-by-turn directions, you have to buy their City Navigator Map card for another 0. Ok, fine. Bought the map. First attempt at getting directions – picked a destination 25 miles from home (nothing too difficult, as a test). The unit literally took 23 minutes to plot the course. 23 minutes! Unbelievable. Car navigators take seconds. Once the unit plotted the course, I noticed that it took me through the Holland Tunnel (leaving New York City) and on a freeway. Not exactly how I pictured my first bike ride with the thing. Ok, so maybe the plotting doesn’t work so well. I figured maybe I could just create routes on my computer and upload them to the device. Nope. Not possible. I took a closer look at the manual. No help whatsoever. It’s a joke, actually. On-line help? Ha…

Not Ready for Primetime, By
This review is from: Garmin Edge 605 Bicycle Monitor with GPS (Electronics)
I agree with the first reviewer, I bought this anticipating it at least had some maps and streets on it, it has pretty much nothing, it is worthless until you buy a sd card with the preloaded maps, to top it off the descriptions of what you can expect when you buy an sd card whether it be a topo map of an area or city navigator is pretty vague, I also thought I would be able to upload routes and follow them, no, nope, not happening until someone hacks into this thing, if I had it to do over again I wouldn’t buy this, I bought a Quest (garmin) a few years ago for a couple hundred more dollars and a bike mount and used that with much more success, I would still be using it if it still worked, (kept falling off windshield of car until the antenna broke off) |
