yar.. I think the forerunner / edge series are pretty similar, except the forerunner is more watch-style. There's an edge 205 as well, but I wanted the heartrate monitor feature, which it doesn't support.
There are a few cool sites that you can use to log/map rides, but they mostly seem to be a little buggy (or don't support my Mac), so I started using Garmin's own MotionBased service. They have software that runs on my laptop too, which I use to pull the data off the device, and which I can also use to set up routines for my indoor trainer. I used that feature for the first time this morning and it was pretty helpful. You just set up a series of 'steps' each with it's own "limiter" (time/distance/heartrate goal/etc) and "rule" (eg. keep heart rate / speed / cadence within a certain range). Obviously I have a separate speed/cadence sensor installed on my bike too as the gps doesn't work so well when you're inside and not technically moving.
