I'm a long-term user of an Edge 705 and before that an Edge 305.
I'm a keen cyclist and absolutely love my 705. It's reliable and does what I want.
However, my head has been turned by the idea of a Montana. Maybe I'm tired of logging my heart rate and cadence, racing my virtual partner and worrying about power output and calories. Maybe I've done all that and actually don't need it.
There have been times that I've used the 705 in the car for navigating and following a course I've created and found that the 705 - as good as it is - is a little small.
I don't want "satnav". I want to tell the unit where I want to go, not for it to work it out for itself.
My questions are:
Is the Montana a good thing to fit on a bike and is it a worthwhile item to log my rides but use it for navigation and following a route? Does it do these things better than a 705? Is the Montana a good idea in a car?
The Montana is obviously a great bit of kit and very much suited to the walker or rambler, but is it worth spending the money if I want it on a bike and/or in a car but only occasionally go walking?
Thanks guys,
Mick.
