Get the Data You Need
Rugged, lightweight Edge
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 305 automatically measures your speed, distance, time,
calories burned, altitude, climb and descent, and records this
data for your review. For extra-precise climb and descent data,
Edge 305 also incorporates a barometric altimeter to pinpoint
changes in elevation.
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.
Measure Your Heart Rate and
Cadence
Edge 305 comes packaged with a
heart rate monitor, speed/cadence sensor, or both. These wireless
sensors use
ANT technology to send valuable
workout data to the Edge.
-
Edge 305 + heart rate —
measure your heart rate and track your heart rate zone with the
lightweight, comfortable heart rate strap. Don't worry about
cross-talk;
ANT technology eliminates
interference from other heart rate monitors.
-
Edge 305 + cadence — monitor
your pedaling cadence and wheel speed as you ride with the
self-calibrating, wireless speed/cadence sensor that attaches
securely to your bike. You can even use it to train indoors
because the sensor attaches to your rear wheel.
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, heart rate 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.
