Garmin Edge 500 v. 705

Marni, I've wondered about that (although it's never been an issue for me) -

did you have to rig a different mount? It doesn't seem like the USB port is accessible when the computer is in the OEM mount.

and, is there a danger of water getting into the USB port?

I do this all the time. It's very easy on a handlebar mount, and just a bit tight on the stem. Yeah, if it's raining, there's no way I would do it, but then again, I lost a 305 on a rainy ride, so if it's sprinkling, the whole thing is in a ziploc.

Edit: and I LOVE my 705. I do brevets, so having the maps to see if there's food around, or to see the surrounding area if the map and cue sheets don't jibe. I love preprogramming a ride, and having the turns and map detail pop up before a turn, with a beep. I love the adjustable backlit, so I can keep it on, but really dim at night. Love it all!
