Garmin today made available a new device - Edge 705 - both a trainer and a navigator designed mostly for cyclists. It can get heart rate, cadence, turn-by-turn directions, and power data (needs third-party power meters). You can also share your data with other Edge 705 users who are within 3 meters.

Edge 705 offers 3 different versions with three different prices:

• Edge 705, Heart Rate: $540
• Edge 705, Heart Rate & Speed/Cadence: $595
• Edge 705, Heart Rate, Speed/Cadence & Data Card with Street Maps: $710

Edge 705 can provide with information such as your speed, distance, time, calories burned, altitude, climb and descent, and thanks to the barometric altimeter you can get extra-precise climb and descent data - all on a 2.2″ color screen.

Edge 705 accepts microSD cards but if you choose not to pay for any additional maps you can just rely on a basemap which is already installed on the device. Edge 705 will store data on 1000 laps, 100 waypoints, and 50 routes.
