The unit is small and fits real nice on the bike stem which is a 80 cm on my bike, it can be fitted to the handle bars as well, but on the stem it’s protected in a crash as nothing is overlapping anywhere I have the Isle de France Topo map as the map that is included with the unit is a waste of time and I will only be using the 705 for off-road biking so I need all the paths / tracks details to be shown, the complete DVD containing all of France is not available yet, though should be end of march 2009 (edit Mai and still not available) this will be cheaper and apparently they are adding some colour, so that the maps will look like ordinance survey maps which will be nice as for the moment the Topo maps are basically just two coloursĬomparison Topo & IGN map (same spot on map)
I bought it thru amazon UK although I am living in France and as its half the French price So I bought the Edge, smaller screen, but heart monitor included and also it’s cheaper than the Colorado I had been thinking about buying a GPS for a while now, my choices were between the edge 705 and the Colorado 400, although the Colorado has a bigger screen I decided that it was more for those who hike and not bike (that rhymes) Update: July 2017 after 8 years of loyal service, have just sold the 705 and replaced it with the Edge 520
