Garmin Edge 705 Preview

I listened in on a demo of the Edge 705 from Garmin this afternoon and there were a few features I hadn't heard or read about before. The Edge 705 incorporates ANT technology, a wireless protocol developed by Garmin for communication with other devices like cadence sensors, heart rate monitors, etc. The cool thing is that ANT can also be used to transfer data from your GPS unit to your computer OR to another Edge 705. This means you can share the track you just made with another rider just as he's hitting the trail. Very cool, though what are the chances of meeting someone else with a $650 GPS unit on your trail? It's also too bad Garmin didn't go with bluetooth or something more "open" to encourage more innovation in this market. That big sexy color screen could definitely be useful for other applications like helmet cam vids or serving music to wireless headphones.

It's also too bad Garmin didn't go with bluetooth or something more "open" to encourage more innovation in this market. That big sexy color screen could definitely be useful for other applications like helmet cam vids or serving music to wireless headphones.

I listened in on a demo of the Edge 705 from Garmin this afternoon and there were a few features I hadn't heard or read about before. The Edge 705 incorporates ANT technology, a wireless protocol developed by Garmin for communication with other devices like cadence sensors, heart rate monitors, etc. The cool thing is that ANT can also be used to transfer data from your GPS unit to your computer OR to another Edge 705. This means you can share the track you just made with another rider just as he's hitting the trail. Very cool, though what are the chances of meeting someone else with a $650 GPS unit on your trail?
