Garmin 705 or not....

I've found that a paper map holder and a bell with an attached compass have been more useful to me for navigation than has been my Garmin.

The device is great as a training tool and the GPS is handy when reviewing workouts but if you want simply to avoid becoming lost then I recommend the old fashioned method.

Not that the Garmin takes me the wrong way, it's just easier to read a proper map.

If you just want a good map I wouldnt get a Garmin Edge 705. I had one and sold in on ebay coz it was far too clever for its own good and whats more...I couldnt see the TINY map infront of me and it made far too many decisions for me that were not that wise. I am looking for something simpler (like me).
