Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Is there a way to get the GPS Coordinates when using the Garmin Edge 305?

There is no way to display them on the Edge screens. It does record waypoints and you can export them to Training Center or MotionBased. From there they can be saved as a GPX file.

What is it that you are trying to accomplish?

I just thought it would be cool to be able to give someone GPS coordinates who has GPS in their vehicle if I end up needing help.
