Garmin Jumps to the Edge 500: a GPS-Enabled Cycling Computer for the Hardcore without the Hardcore Price
An interesting entry from Garmin today: the Edge 500 series of cycling computers. Unlike previous versions of Garmin’s GPS-enabled cycling gadgets (both high- and low-end), this one doesn’t do waypoints or routes; the GPS portion of this device is essentially a track logger. So what does the suggested $249.99 price tag get you? A nice cycling computer replete with a built-in barometric altimeter; for an additional hundred bucks you get a speed/cadence sensor and heart-rate monitor. That puts the unit in a comparable price range with other high-end cycling computers, with the added benefit of GPS track logging.
Garmin Unveils Latest Forerunners, Big & Small
Garmin, ever the product differentiator, has taken the wraps off two new Forerunner devices: the 310XT and 405CX. If you’re familiar with Garmin’s wrist-mounted GPS line, the 310XT (over there on the right) is the heir apparent to the larger, traditional Forerunner models like the 305 reviewed here, while the 405CX (pictured below) resembles its … er, forerunner, heh, the watch-resembling 405. The big news here is that the 310XT is triathlon friendly: it’s waterproof, and sports 20 hours of battery use under typical use, Garmin says.

Garmin Forerunner 201: Worth Running Out For!
When I first received the Garmin Forerunner 201, I had never used a GPS unit designed for running. I was impressed by how GPS technology was adapted to outdoor exercise.
