I have been looking for a GPS. I would like to have one that has detailed maps so I can know the street I am on and where I am. I did not see any mention of maps. I found your article very helpful.

After doing my own search I found out it is actually www.allsportgps.com (not sports plural). Just thought others mind find it useful.

Thanks for the excellent review and the tip on AllSport. It helped me make up my decision to buy one. I just got my Edge205 Monday and it is Wednesday and I've just posted my first ride. You hit the nail on the head with that review and the assessment of the "training center" vs the AllSport site - no comparison! If I had not found out about AllSport from you, I would have been very dissatisfied with the Training Center alone. Big thanks again. Dude!

Mine falls well within those 12 hours. My first ride with the Edge 205 was a century. I fully charged the unit the night before, and only powered the thing on right before I started riding. Six and a half hours into my ride I got the first 'low battery' warning. The battery died shortly after the eight hours it took me to complete the ride. Eight hours on a full charge seems pathetic to me. I like to do multi-day tours, where I'm tent camping at sites between each days ride. Without a place to charge this thing up each night it surely wouldn't last more than two days. I emailed the company well over a week ago with these concerns, and have not been contacted yet.
