Shuts off 2010-04-16 |
| By Max E. Marsh (Wichita Ks.) |
I got my first 305 Edge about 4 yours ago but after about 6 months, the unit would just shut down and turn off during rides. When contacted Tech Support, the first thing they asked was if software updates current. I could never figure out how that should effect the unit turning off but whatever. Long story short, I had to send the unit back in and they replaced it. The replacement model worked fine for about two years and then whenever the temperature reached about 90 degrees or above, it would shut off like the first unit. Same question from tech support about software updates. Weather got cooler last fall and worked fine all winter and early spring. First day the temperature hit around 80 degrees, unit shut down. Also now even when cooler or warmer, if you hit a bump or go across runble strips, it shuts down.
Great unit when it works but when it doesn't, good luck. |
Overpriced 2010-01-25 |
| By Jeffrey D. Dillard |
| For what it does, the cost is excessive. Map is hard to use. No streets at all. |
Track your progress 2009-11-16 |
| By snowdog (Vergennes, Vermont United States) |
| This is actually the second Edge 305 that I have owned. I bought one in January and recently lost it because I did not make sure that it was securely clipped into my bicycle mount. I would recommend this to anyone that likes to keep track of details and improve performance. Everything you need is here. It tracks heart rate, distance, speed, time, elevation, cadence and maps your ride automatically using GarminConnect or MapMyRide websites. This particular one only had the heart rate monitor in the box. I would recommend getting the one with the speed and cadence sensors also. Mounting it to the bicycle was a breeze and the heart rate monitor just clips around your chest. If you get the box with the other two sensors they are a little trickier to place, but not too bad. I like that it is wireless except for the connection to the computer which is a standard UB connection. I have also used this during hiking and snowshoeing excursions to monitor my performance and map my hikes. |
Dead On Arrival 2009-09-13 |
| By D. Black |
The unit arrived and my first thought was "this has been repacked". Usually, electronics have a protective plastic cover over the LCD, this one didn't.
Then I charged it up and it indicated that it was charging. The next morning, it indicated that it was completely charged. I unplugged it from the charger, tried to turn it on and nothing happened. I've tried the published method for resetting it...still nothing. It's literally a paperweight.
I had timed the arrival with a big mountain bike trip this weekend. I'm very disappointed
I'm going to contact Garmin and Amazon tomorrow to see what to do. I'm fairly certain that a working unit will be great (according to my friends who own them) and a 1 star rating may seem unfair, but they need to take lump for this quality control issue. |
big improvement over 205 2009-09-12 |
| By Andy Atherton |
| this unit is great, especially for the price that amazon offers. key additional features relative to 205 are autopause and barometric altimeter. heart rate monitor is fun too. definitely worth the extra money. Would give top marks for service also. The unit started behaving erratically about 90 days after purchase. I sent a note to amazon support, got a quick response with contact info for garmin support, sent a note to them and received a quick response with simple, clear instructions to reinstall the units firmware. works great again. |
