800 is much better. I refused to buy a 705 because of the flakiness. 800s still have issues but are actually usable.

What firmware are you running? I had awful problems with it hanging at 100% until I rolled back the firmware to 2 or 3 versions before the latest one, no trouble since then. Also much better since installing OSM maps.

My thoughts on the Garmin 705 after the first week:
Navigating doesnt seem to work. It seems typical to wait a very very long time to load a route. Mine doesnt seem to work at all on this function.
HRM has ceased to pair and I cant get it to link again.
It seems to have the processing power of an early Casio calculator.
All in all a complete pile of shit!
