The 305 comes with the heart rate monitor, and is compatible with the cadence sensor (for biking) and foot pod. The 205 can't have any of that added later.

World GPS answer:

If you could choose, I would go to the Garmin 205. Garmin is the market leader, although the 205 is smaller than the more expensive 405 for example, it is what it has a big screen, you can read when you run the (small letters is not easy to read speed!).

Garmin has really upped the ante on the entire cycling computercategory with it's two new gps-enabled navigator/computers, the 705 and its younger sibling, the 605. These are true navigational aids with full-color maps and turn-by-turn directions in addition to advanced route-planning and saving capabilities. On top of that, the 705 adds heart rate and cadence monitors, a barometric altimeter, and wireless capability that lets you share routes and workout data with other riders instantly. Sleek and waterproof, with a 2.2-inch color screen that lets you customize what data you see and how you see it, these two devices help make the most of every ride. The Power Of Location-Based Data Anyone who has used Garmin's original Edge 205 or 305 already understands the power that attaching location data to traditional measurements like distance, speed, time, calories burned, and heart rate can provide.
