Garmin Edge 800

 

Well designed and logical navigation system, accurate, good battery life

Touch response slow, sluggish at finding satellites

After using the Edge 800 everyday it has become something we are now nearly totally dependent on. Going into London, we will always stick the exact address into it just before we leave, so we can cycle straight to the door. For this kind of cycling,...

Garmin Edge 800 GPS Cycle Computer

Review: Garmin Edge 800

 

Does Garmin's latest bike computer spew too much data? If you're a geeky cyclist, the answer is, "hell no!"

Quick, easy to set up. Bright color touchscreen. Intuitive user interface. World-class navigation functionality and oodles of performance metrics

We’re living in a golden age of touchscreens. Should this one have a pinch-and-zoom function

Garmin Edge 800

 

Good all round GPS for a bike, good to have 1.50000 maps

poor instructions on how to use and get the best - can be difficult to work out how to use it to its full potential

Garmin Edge 800

 

The size, how easy it is to use, the virtual training partner is good to race against. You can even get hold of free O/S maps as well.

Only the expense, but you soon forget about that.

Does everything I would wish, good screen size & easy touchscreen.

You really need a screen protector. I, like others found it scratches way too easily.
