I read somewhere that the 305 has a limit on waypoints. Is this true? A 50 to 70 mile ride could easily have 200 waypoints.
Would the 605/705 be a significant improvement over the 305 in this regard? Are the maps and turn by turn directions that much better?
If you plan on using it with a Garmin map product like City Navigator, the 605/705 would perform comparably to any of their traditional mapping GPS's with turn by turn guidance. However, even the 605/705 still has the 100 waypoint limit. Unless you're doing a really intricate route, I'd find it hard to believe you'd run into that limit.
