Garmin 705
who has one and what are yer thoughts? there is a thread in the gadgets forum but i wanna hear from people i know. i am waaaay too close to pulling the trigger on one of these(mostly based on the battery life) and the fact that the street level mapping seems to work well when being used in a car as well(for those of us who are prevehicle GPS...). ive spoken briefly with awiner abou his, but more opinions are always appreciated!!!!

I'm waiting. Therefore, you should get one to give us all a glowing / panning review.

1st generation firmware, loaded with features of dubious utility, expensive - what could be the downside?
It's still calling you -
"Sucka!"

It and its 16 hour battery life are calling your name. You'll never get lost again.

Downside with the iphone is that it still doesn't really function as a GPS. If there's no phone signal, you're SOL. Doesn't tell you much up in the Angeles Forest.

Scoot,, get the 705 and let us all borrow if for hmmm 4-6 weeks at a time. Then you don't have to go through the pain of writing the review.

How many times have you gotten lost on a ride?
AmI the only one trying to help this poor man with his tech-envy sickness?
You're all shameless enablers

I got lost in Griffith Park this morning. I mistakenly ended up in the cage at the zoo where they keep the Liger.

Ever website says July release but I saw a couple on ebay last week that sold for over retail (looks like they're trickling in). There are still a few Garmin egde 605's on there for sale.
