Comments about Garmin Garmin 010-00447-30 Edge 305 Personal Trainer:
This is really a pretty great training tool. The unit is easy to set up on the bike but the software was really tricky to install (and I'm a computer guy). Had to manually find the USB driver on the CD and install myself (ouch!!). Once it is installed it is easy to use (just plug the unit in and your ride is automatically downloaded).
Similarly the 3rd party MB Agent software (which lets you overlay your bike route on Google Earth is pretty tricky to figure out. The hardware is great but the software could be a lot cleaner!!
