Garmin Edge 500 v. 705

[bluebug32]

Here's Garmin's own comparison page among the 305, 500 and 705.

Bluebug, it's weird you say you can program workouts into your 500 when Garmin says you can't. Do you have to "trick" it somehow?

I can program specific workouts (intervals, etc.) through Garmin Training center and download them to the 500 to run. I can do this with courses too. I think this is what you mean, right?

By the way, can anyone get max. speed on their 500? I swear it isn't a display option. How strange.
