Amazon prices go up on Special Deals day. Well, I never thought that would happen. Not after all the cheap Black Friday deals that are more expensive that yesterday. Why do people keep falling for that old con trick?
I had a quick look earlier. Bulk of it seemed to just be the stuff that wasn’t selling well and trying to clear it. No doubt it will fool some people who think they are getting a bargain.
I bowed to temptation. My trusty 9 year old Garmin 800 has started to play up and this has some good reviews. I will post a review when I receive it.
I have to say that the 800 has been fantastic. The turn by turn navigation has been brilliant and the battery life is good for a 100 mile ride. Unfortunately it went wrong on my last tour and even after a factory reset it isn't working properly. One of the advantages of the Edge is that it takes the Ordnance Survey maps that I got with my 800, so I will be able to copy that across.
The 705 is very old, and a bit memory restricted, but for recording and on the fly maps it's OK, but I can't see the screen very well now as it's not that bright and smallish (old technology). For £129 I'm a happy bunny for an upgrade.
Calling @wonderloaf any long term feedback?
