I can download routes to the Garmin (breadcrumb) but its hard to do using Macs. It's easier on a PC.
The Edge 305 has a barometric altimeter. The Edge 200, which is probably what DG is looking at for $150, uses a GPS based altimeter like my Forerunner 305. The elevation data it provides is useless until corrected by software at an upload site.
