The 305 will work as a somewhat mapping unit.... If you create a route in gmap or bikely or one of the other programs on the web, you can upload it to your 305 and it prompt you with a beep when you have a turn coming up or are off route. It will not re-route you however... I know you get a great price on a 305 right now if you don't have to have color. Chris
