Rugged, lightweight Edge attaches easily to the stem or handlebars of your bike with the included bike mount. Just turn it on, acquire GPS satellites and go. Edge automatically measures your speed, distance, time, calories burned, altitude, climb and descent, and records this data for review on MotionBased. For extra-precise climb and descent data, Edge 305 also incorporates a barometric altimeter to pinpoint changes in elevation.

Edge 205/305 users should go to the Quick Start Guide to get started at MotionBased.
