The previous Edge units seemed large and clunky. The map function seems a little overkill anyways. I think i will have to pick one of these up, it is a great training aid, and makes commuting just a little bit more fun. The Garmin web site states that the battery lasts about 18 hours, but does anyone know how much ride data it will store. I'd like to know that I could go on a week long trip and not have to bring my laptop along to unload all of the ride data. <br /> <br />I have a Polar 720i that I am extremely pleased with, but the mapping feature of the Garmin looks just plain cool. I always like looking over my ride on Google maps, and it seems like this would plot the route, and keep track of all of my rides for me.</p> This looks really cool.
