Garmin Edge 205 GPS Unit

By Ranked #562 - Trail Running Accessories November 19, 2008

Write your question here...My son would like a GPS unit for mountain biking. He would like to be able to enter his course in order to access it for future rides. He rides in thickly wooded areas with a trail system. However, because of the vast number of trails, he would like to be able to ride the same route twice. Any product recommendations? Thank you.

I'm not certain about being able to manually enter a course in advance, but I know you can save a ride and access it again. There are also 3rd party sites like geoladders.com where people can upload their rides... from there, the route files can be transferred to the GPS before he hits the trail. Personally, I have the Edge705 and absolutely love it! I haven't had any trouble with GPS signals, and never had trouble saving my ride data with either the Motionbased.com or Garmin Connect software. Hope that helps...-Sully
