Thanks for the reply Mazurka.
The battery life on the Garmin 305 Edge seems to be a problem. I didn't realize it was only 5-6 hours. I thought it had enough battery for a century at least. However, I have heard of people wiring up an external battery pack and plugging it in through the USB port. Do you know if this works?
There is a Polar cycle computer that has power which would be great to have, but the price is around $700. I think that is a little too steep for my wallet.
