i have to offer a severe warning to anyone using or thinking of buying a 705. I was heading along Euston Rd to the start of the London>Oxford ride when I managed, with a very light touch, to knock the unit off it's mounting (crappy plastic thing it is) and before I could get off my bike and pick it up two cars had driven over it and it was completely destroyed. As far as i know the unit was fully clicked-in to the mounting, so just be aware and maybe improvise some extra security before you set out... like gaffer tape the f**king thing. Luckily my 4gb micro SD card survived the crushing and the unit itself was covered by my home contents insurance...
