Do you plan to use the heartrate meter? That seems to be the main selling point of the 305.

Yes.

I love my 305. I use it on every run or bike. I would highly recommend it.

I have the Nuvi 760.

So do I.

My wife has had the 205 for a while and I run with it occasionally. It works great and we both like it a lot. Haven't used while cycling.

The bulk of the 205 doesn't bother me. Sounds like the 205/305 version has more of the bugs worked out than the 405.

I have the 205. It's loads better than my old 101, or the 201, but I've never used it on a bike.

I have the Nuvi 760. I like it but likely not good for exercise. Great for car or when you are exploring a city on foot.

I am thinking of getting my wife a Nuvi for Valentines Day. She is always calling me in the middle of the day asking me for directions. "I have started to go to a therapist but can't find his office," "How do I get to the divorce attorney's office?" or "What is the address of that new single guy that moved into our ward?" stuff like that. It gets annoying. Use google maps!

I am thinking about getting a Forerunner 405, but the reviews on Amazon have made me nervous. Lots of unhappy users. Anyone here have one? Have you used it while cycling?

The 305 sounds like it is more reliable and it is quite a bit cheaper. But a lot more bulky.
