BUY IT - YOU BASTARDS !!!!!!
I have a brand new Garmin 205 going spare.
I only used it on this years London to Brighton - my bike (cranks/BB) died a couple of days later and my Garmin has been back in the box since.
My favorite thing about it is the ability to connect your 205 to your Mac or PC (comes with a USB lead) and upload your latest adventure to the Garmin online website data analyzer thingy - but the good bit is you can then save off a KML file (or KMZ file) and then download this back to your Mac/PC and open it in Google Earth so you can see your days cycling in Google Earth !!!!
It's fucking great ! :)
Here is a screen capture of my shameful 8 hour London to Brighton, you can see me winding my way through the English country side - in the first picture below on the left you can see Ditchling in the far distance - it even tracked the bit where I went for a piss in the bushes :) (bottom picture)

. . . and my other favorite bit is getting Google Earth to 'fly' you along the route, I might do next years London to Brighton this way, much easier ! ;P
Like I said surplus to needs right now, brand new mint condition not a spot of dust on the thing, boxed, leads, power supply, CDs and manual all still sealed + all the usual crap as new - they are £144.99 on sale at chainreactioncycles (usually £169.99) - if anyone is interested I will sling you mine for £90 - I would prefer to drop it off somewhere in London rather than post it - I want to see the whites of your eyes as you cross my palm with silver.
PM me if interested.
