The Garmin Edge 500 is the newest addition to Garmins cycling computer range and are designed for riders who like to have full data at their fingertips bringing most of the grunt from the 705 and 705 units into a much more stylish slimline unit.
In order to make this size shrinking possible Garmin have removed the mapping functions that were a key aspect in the 605 and 705s. This also makes the price a LOT cheaper and takes the weight down to just 60grams. Battery life also gets a boost with a theoretical max run time of 18 hours.

The Edge 500 will lock onto satellites a lot quicker and the display is clearer and easier to use. As mentioned before there is no mapping facility built in but the Garmin Edge 500 will record your route for download onto Garmin Connect. It also has the bonus of being able to show vertical speed, temperature and a more accurately calculated calories expended.
The Garmin Edge 500 will appeal to those riders who already know where they are going but want to be able to analyse every aspect of their ride without carrying round the extra bulk of the 605 or 705 units. The price also makes it the cheapest Garmin and very appealing.
