Garmin MapSource WorldMap CD-ROM for Garmin GPS Units (010-10215-01) Garmin’s WorldMap MapSource CD-ROM provides worldwide coverage with base map-level detail, including political boundaries, cities, towns, major motorways and/or interstates, and principal highways; lakes, major streams, and rivers; and urban areas and railroads. WorldMap displays excellent coastline detail that includes many offshore islands, as well as worldwide nautical navigation aids such as day beacons, radio beacons, RACONs, fog signals, lights, and buoys. Also shown are U.S. interstate exit information, such as service stations, gas stations, restaurants, hotels, campsites, hospitals, banks, and more. WorldMap includes management functions that allow you to transfer waypoints, routes, and tracks between your PC and nearly all Garmin GPS units (excluding the GPS100 family and panel mount aviation units) while viewing base map-level maps on your PC screen.
It is recommended for use with the GPS III Plus, NavTalk, GPS 12MAP, and GPSMAP 162/168. It is compatible with StreetPilot GPS, StreetPilot ColorMap, GPSMAP 295, and eMap, which require a blank 8 or 16 MB cartridge for loading map data.
Customer Review: Garmin WorldMap CD-Rom
I travel internationally and was looking for something that would give me an idea what cities I was over from the air, when riding on commercial transportation. This product does that well from the air, but as I read on several other reviews, on the ground, it can be another story. It can put you on the wrong side of a river or when riding on a train, the depicted track can be 3/4 mile away or more. I have the US Street map and that works fine and is very accurate, but the World database still needs some tweaking. I use it with the Etrex Vista.
Customer Review: Disappointed . .
With high hopes I bought this, and the world package, only to find it complex and incomplete. I will stick, now, with Google Maps.

Customer Review: Disappointed in product
I ordered this product after reading the description. Based on the description, the product appeared to be an excellent guide for travelers in Europe. I am very disappointed to find, after looking at the product, that this product doesn’t really deliver. If you are travelling to Europe and don’t want to get lost, don’t count on this product to deliver you to your desired destination.
Customer Review: Travel Guide
I would not buy another travel data card. It is not very useful and not well integrated into the regular GPS function. It was a waste of money.

Customer Review: works with 8525
I’ve only had it a couple of days, but so far it works great. And being able to map addresses from my contacts awesome
I would have given it 5 stars, but I had to get my own maps (used a torrent, so no $ but lots of time) and I have to turn off my phone plug in the charger and then turn it back on to get it to charge (this may just be a bad cable though and I’m going to get another from garmin or amazon). I loaded the software from Garmin website (mobile XT, support files and free base maps) and then got the maps to load, kind of glad I did it that way too. I have the 2009 maps and I can choose what states I want on my phone, so it isn’t using up all my memory. You can use the POIs, garmin online, and the maps without the gps being connected, it just doesn’t follow your position shows you as being at the last place it was connected. If I had wanted to buy the maps I could have used the 10% off you get from garmin when you register this to buy them.
Customer Review: got a a garmin 10x instead.
I wanted somthing that will work on my cell phone and pda so i ended up returning this one and got something else. Garmin 10X

Garmin 010-00555-20 Edge 705 HRM Outdoor Fitness GPS with Heart Rate Monitor Trainer. Navigator. Edge 705 pushes you to do your best, then shows you the way back. This GPS-enabled cycle computer knows no limits. Edge 705 comes with a built-in basemap, plus it has a microSD card slot for adding map detail and storing workouts, courses and saved rides. Also included is a wireless heart rate monitor to measure your heart rate and track your heart rate zone, operating with Garmin’s innovative ANT + Sport wireless technology. Edge 705 automatically measures your speed, distance, time, calories burned, altitude, climb and descent, and records this data for your review. Connected to your computer via USB, you can then download your workout data, analyze it and store it. You can even share it wirelessly with other Edge 705 buddies without being near the computer. When it comes to the curve of workout technology, Garmin takes you to the Edge.
Customer Review: Garmin Edge 705 upgrade
I bought the Garmin Edge 705 to replace my Garmin Edge 305. Although the 305 did everything i needed, I wanted a larger display, better battery management, and the ability to load maps in the device. I got everything I wanted with the 705. In fact, the new features and the way the buttons operate are so much better to toggle between views and to enter information in. Its a pricey item, but I use it at least twice a week so I get my money’s worth. I upload my info onto my computer and can map where my routes are (that feature is similar to the 305)…with the exception of beaming my routes to other 605 or 705 devices, which I have yet to do. Since I had my cadence and bike mount from the 305 on the bike already, I just purchased the most basic model and didn’t have to do any additional installation…that was nice. Its a great device, can’t ride without it even more so.
Customer Review: After all the hype and the extended wait……..It is as good as advertised
Garmin Edge 705 HRM Outdoor Fitness GPS with Heart Rate Monitor
Executive Summary: If you are looking for a complete solution to HR, power, Cyclo computer and GPS with great usability, Garmin 705 is for you. The 705 retains the 305’s ability to record data indoors as well as outside. Additionally, the 705 is compatible with the 305 rear wheel speed / cadence transmitter. Mapping is good, but roadies rarely need directional assistance. Basic cyclo computer functions are perfect and are easy to configure. Great user interface and controls - on and off the bike. Easy to see and adjust the color screen’s intensity. No problem with interference from other HR monitors or other Garmin users.
Down side (the reason I rated this a 3 and not a 5):
1) (Not Garmin’s fault) Power Tap is not yet compatible with the ANT+ communication protocol and the Quark power meter (which IS compatible) will not work for Shimano & Campy cranks. Major disappointment! Cannot test the power meter integration.
2) Motion Based / Garmin Connect data upload sites: While Motion Based was an adequate site to collect and analyze ride data; it was never as good as the Polar software / Web site. Garmin is in the middle of moving its fitness uploads from the Motion Based website (supposed to happen in May?) to the Garmin Connect website. Either Garmin / Motion based are completely inept at web site development management or they have not resourced the project appropriately. Garmin connect has a slick appearance but still lacks the meat of Motion Based and when compared to Polar is completely inadequate for analyzing ride data. The site lacks a GREAT deal of data reporting and presentation features to make it useful to even us amateur cyclists.
3) Garmin needs work on its drivers for the 705 - Windows Vista in general and the 64 bit version in particular. (I did not downgrade them for this; I was dumb enough to buy into Microsoft’s hype and choose Vista 64). No clue on how the drivers work for Mac.
4) Still no ambient temperature available measurement available on the 705. In fact the Motion Based feature that associated weather with a particular ride was not activated for the first three weeks I had the 705. One day, out of the blue it started working - but only on the Motion Based Site; it is still not there in any form for the Garmin Connect Site.
Bottom Line: Garmin has done its job in creating a great combo HR, Power, cyclo computer and GPS receiver. Arguably, the greatest selling point of the device is the ability to integrate power data with other cycling data; unfortunately Garmin partnered with high end provider (SRM) and the new low cost provider (Quark) for power data instead of driving a natural relationship with the more popular Power Tap. Additionally, they have not invested enough resources to create even a reasonable data collection site / software to adequately use all the data collected by the 705. My recommendation is buy it, go without integrated power until Power Tap get its act together and invest in the Training Peaks software to upload the wealth of meaningful data that is collected by this wonderful device.

Customer Review: PC Universe is a poor seller.
“If you buy from PC Universe - you’ll probably never get what they advertise on the website. I ordered 2 Garmin Motorcycle Mount for StreetPilot 2610 and 2620 (010-10495-00) and it was six days latter then I Received an e-mail from Amazon stating that the order was being cancelled and not from the seller. PC Universe! Step up and admit your mistakes and maybe you’ll keep more customers. As for me, I’ll be shopping elsewhere after the second time this has happened.”
Customer Review: Only Real Effective 2600, 2700, 2800 GPS Motorcycle Mount
The only mount I’ll use on my bike for my 2610 or any of the 27XX and 28XX series GPS. You could get a TourTech for ocvr a hundred and no DC Cable and be more secure or for less than $40 you get the cable and nearly as secure a mount. You choice. I made mine.Garmin Motorcycle Mount for StreetPilot 2610 and 2620 (010-10495-00)

Customer Review: Review Written in 2008, an honest one..
I had this well over 2 years now. At the time of the purchase, it was like the best thing to have. Now it is 2008 where there are many more GPS units to compare it againt. This would be at the bottom of the list. I notice some reviews are written 2005. That is 3 years ago. You know how fast electronics change.
