Features
Take your ride to the next
level with the Edge 205, Garmin's GPS-enabled personal
trainer and cycle computer. Whether you're a competitive
racer or weekend cyclist, Edge will help you achieve
your personal best.
Get the Data You Need
Rugged, lightweight Edge 205
attaches easily to the stem or handlebars of your bike
with the included bike mount. Just turn it on, acquire
GPS satellites and go. Edge automatically measures your
speed, distance, time, calories burned and altitude, and
records this data for your review. For even more
detailed data, get the Edge 305, which can track your
heart rate, cadence, climb and descent.
Other Edge features:
- Easy to install; no
calibration required. Just snap it into the bike
mount and go.
- High-sensitivity GPS
receiver tracks your position even in tree cover and
canyons, making it extremely reliable for distance
and speed information.
- Virtual Partner® lets you
race a virtual competitor over a specified distance
and speed.
- Courses let you race
against a previously recorded workout, so you can
compare your current and past performances over the
same ride.
- Auto Pause® pauses the
timer when you slow down or stop and resumes when
you speed up again, so you can focus on your ride.
- Auto Lap® automatically
starts a new lap each time you pass a specified
location or travel a preset distance.
Track Your Progress
As an added benefit, you can
plan, analyze and store data from your workouts using
free
Garmin Training Center®
software, which lets you analyze data with interactive
graphs that chart your speed, time and elevation.
Overlay your ride on a map so you can pinpoint specific
areas and see how elevation and other factors affect
your performance. Or, upload your workout data to
MotionBased.com,
Garmin's web-based application that provides in-depth
analysis of your workouts, online mapping and route
sharing that will take your training to the next level.
Endurance athletes can also use the Edge with
TrainingPeaks.com,
an easy-to-use web-based training system designed to
help athletes train for any event.
