I used my 705 on my trainer and it did not record distance or speed like my forerunner does. The 705 works fine on the road

Dear Sir:
You must adjust , clean, and tigh very well the connector from speed sensor. see the diagram attached.

After that RUN the software calibration.

sincerely. God bless you.

You can't with this type of trainer. You have to have a trainer where you can manually adjust the resistance. The closest you can do is shift your gearing.

you must disable the gps speed and enable the sensor

The garmin works off of a GPS signal. If you are not moving, the GPS signal doesn't pick up any movement . . . .because you are not really moving. m Therefore, the speed and distance is nil.

The Garmin Edge requires that you press the start/stop button to record any data.
1. Before you start riding, press the start/stop button to begin recording.
2. Once you have finished riding, press start/stop button to end recording.
3. Create an account on connect.garmin.com and plug your unit in using the supplied USB cable and download your ride to view details on your cycling session.

Could it be that the Unit for distance is set to statute and so displaying miles instead of K?

have you tried the factory reset?

short of changing batteries ,if you got them, theres nothing you could do other then replace it, If your speed rpms and distance doesnt read its the speed sensor

This is not exactly a watch- more like fitness device,so, it's not my experize, but I hope this link will help you to understand the basics of use:

Do not forget to rate, please.

When the memory in the watch is full detail (ie mapping points) of the earliest runs are deleted but the aggregate data (eg total distance/time etc) is retained. If you want to save the mapping points you need to download it to a PC fairly soon after doing the run (depending of course on how much you use the 305). Although you can use the Training Centre software supplied with the 305 I prefer sporttracks which is a third party donate-ware application which many users find to be much better than TC.
