No, I wouldn't dare to mount a Nokia phone on the bicycle handlebar and ride 
in the rain. With the Edge 705 I can do that. Also there are no sensors such 
as the Garmin GSC-10 cadence/speedometer or a heart rate belt. Bluetooth Low 
Energy (aka Wibree) was supposed to solve that (or reinvent ANT+Sport), and 
products were supposed to be introduced last summer.

In the Edge, it is under Community/Utility. In German, perhaps 
Gemeinde/Versorgungsbetrieb. The POI is a white square on the Edge. Did you 
check http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin/POI_Types 
already? I have filled in most details for the Edge, and others have filled 
in data for other units.
