The Garmin Edge 205 GPS enabled personal trainer and cycle computer might just be one of your most favorite toys this year. Simply mount it onto your handlebars or stem of your bike with the included bike mount, turn it on, ride and then receive your speed, distance, time, and calories burned during your ride. With a high sensitivity GPS receiver, you can track your position even in tree cover and canyons, making it a reliable source for distance and speed information. Race against others with the Virtual Partner software and even compare your last ride to keep you up to speed on your progress. No need to manually stop and start your GPS system, because it does it for you as you travel. As an added benefit, you can plan, analyze and store data from your workouts using free Garmin Training Center software, which lets you analyze data with interactive graphs that chart your speed, time and elevation. Overlay your ride on a map so you can pinpoint specific areas and see how elevation and other factors affect your performance. Or, upload your workout data to MotionBased.com, Garmin's web-based application that provides in-depth analysis of your workouts, online mapping and route sharing that will take your training to the next level. Endurance athletes can also use the Edge with TrainingPeaks.com, an easy-to-use web-based training system designed to help athletes train for any event. Simply put - give your training the Edge with the 205.
