marvellous! can't wait to put the 705er on my bike. 305 was just the best ever! let's hope they get longer battery life, the only negative with the 305er...
I see no point to these on a road bike. Terrible battery life, and you can get a barometer style computer or watch to give you altitude data is you want it. Then again, I'm a cheapskate who rides a '92 and a '95 bike. BTW, my cateye HR and mity both get around 4 years out of a battery. From what I understand, a GPS is good for 4 or 5 hrs.

I've done rides of 6+ hours with HR and cadence on the whole time. And then uploaded the track to share with everyone else that was on the route with me, which is tough to do with a Cateye.

Did you try updating? That really helped with my battery problem... until mine was stolen :( Maybe one of these to replace it :)
