Okay, so I decided I want to buy an Edge 705. I found that on average,
HR version goes for $420-$500
HR+cad version goes for $450-$500
HR+cad+map for $600-$700.
Then I found that on I can get the 705+HR for
$374 on wiggle.co.uk with free ship. I hadn't found anyone else selling it nearly as cheap with free ship, so I'm tempted. I don't really need the cadence sensor, though I might want the maps later down the line.
If I decide I want the maps, is it possible to buy the map card that comes with the deluxe 705? I went to
https://buy.garmin.com/shop/buymaps.do and wasn't sure which of the various map cards (if any) is the same as the included map card on the deluxe.
If I buy everything in bits and pieces like this, do I lose anything that I would have gotten with the deluxe 705?
Side question, has anyone used alternate map data purchased (or got free) from another company than garmin on their 705?
