Garmin Edge with Maps and ANT tech

Garmin Edge with Maps and ANT tech: "

Garmin has included ANT Sport technology to their Edge 705 GPS navigation system that targets cyclists, enabling the unit to communicate with power meters (such as the Cinqo sensor) while providing you with a handy map so that you'll know where you're headed off to exactly. Should you opt for the bundle option, the Edge 705 will even give out a list of interesting places you can wind down after a long ride. Since the ANT Sport thing is not proprietary, this means any power sensor manufacturer will be able to ride on this technology by linking their product with the Edge 705. The Garmin Edge 705 will be released only next January, and ought to retail for $650 if you pick up the bundle option.
