  • in reply to: Garmin discontinuing Edge 205, 305, 605, and 705? #103880

    I purchased an Edge 200 a month or so ago and LOVE IT! I was previously carting around my Android device in my camel and using an app called iMapMyRide to track all of my rides. I would forget to turn it off when I finished riding, I was constantly having to remove my gloves to perform any functions, having to stop and pull it out of my pack, etc… Now I leave the phone in the truck unless I’m by myself.

    I found that the Garmin tracks a more accurate trail ride than the Android mobile devices I’ve had using Google Maps. Also, when far out of coverage I’d have a difficult time even getting the GPS feature to function correctly. Don’t get me wrong, both serve their purpose, but I like the traditional style of a bike computer mounted on the handlebar stem with the added benefit of being able to upload by rides and maps to a data base. The Garmin has some pretty cool little features without getting too fancy. Plus, I was happy I didn’t have to calibrate another bike computer!

    Just my 2 cents… 😃
