If you are really looking for a do everything gps, look at the new Garmin Dakota 20.. Full screen gps with touchscreen technology.. Just a little smaller than the Oregon series but bigger than the 705.. The Dakota 20 allow you to use the Garmin HR and Cadence-Speed Functions.. Spoke to a salesperson at REI and these things are selling fast.. Seems like most places are out of stock right now.

they sell for 349.000 msrp but can be found online for 280.00.. Just a note that there is lower model Garmin Dakota 10, this model does not allow you to use your cycling specific accessories..
