ive just bought a garmin edge 705 and am trying to download the programmes for it but when I try to downlload the garmin communicator plug in, it says its not supported by my browser. any help on what i do?
Congratulations on getting this, it's a great bit of kit (though does have a few quirks so feel free to ask away and I'm sure Garmin 705 owners will be happy to help out).
If you are using Google Chrome then sadly it's not supported. Works fine in Firefox as already stated. Don't know about Internet Explorer as I detest the browser with a passion.
I use http://www.bikehike.co.uk/ to plan routes - then download them as a tcx file to your pc and copy across. The courses I find work better than planning routes, as I didn't need the gadget beeping at me and showing me when to turn.
I use http://www.bikeroutetoaster.com to plan routes. With this you can download gpx or tpx files directly to your Garmin, which is nice. You can also set warning distances for turnings so you get the information prior to a junction/turn rather than when you are on it.
