I hear it actually has a screen that alerts you "You seem to be moving. You might want to hit 'Start'" which is a fine idea!
You mean differences between the 705 and 500? (305 doesn't have maps)

I actually use the maps quite a bit on my 705, but I use it as a general purpose GPS unit in addition to a bike computer. Indeed I have never used the Training partner, but I do use the interval workouts. YMMV.
