I was very pleasantly surprised with a Garmon Edge 305 GPS computer with Heart Rate Monitor for Father's Day.

You'll love it. It's a great toy. Though there is one bit of bad news. There are occasions when when you'll want to do the dot thing. You can pre-plot routes and download them. Then it will guide you on your way.
I would assume that Silver is going to get one too?

Great gift! Definitely jealous of you, Mr. Silver. I don't have any gift-giving events until Christmas! Maybe I can swing one for our 1st wedding anniversary.

don't worry, Mr. I don't really want the Garmin Edge. I think it would be info overload for me. I Don't like using a HRM. I don't ever plot my routes. I don't want to add any weight to my bike.
If I got a Garmin product I would rather have the running one. They say you can use one for both but it would be lacking some feature (I've already forgotten which one) that seemed important when I was looking at it. anyway, I already have a fitsense system for running with a HRM. I'd hate to keep throwing money at gadgets when new wheels are what I really want.

DH and I bought two of them for our wedding present to each other. Lucky me got the one in the store, poor DH is still waiting for his to get through customs. (5 weeks and counting...)
