Im tempted - is it worth the money? Currently have the 200 but getting bored of the breadcrumb routes - fancy just going out and then getting the 800 to get me home?

Anyone recommend it????

 

[musa]

Yeah but you can get an 810 for 60-70 quid more but without maps

Then download the openstreet maps as others have mentioned on here and as I have discovered.

get a MIO Cyclo 305 for £170 in Halfords does excately the same and more

OK - so would It be better to get the below:

And then download maps for free? Will this offer the same as the £315 package? Are the free maps any good for navigation?

Thanks for the help!!!!

Don't forget the 800 is old hat in garmin terms IMO you'd be better buying one second hand and upgrading when they bring out the next generation. For starters the battery needs improvement and so does the screen Im not convinced the 810's that great an improvement. Im waiting for a bigger screen and a little more technology before I ditch my 800

I know its the older model - but not that bothered with the 810 dont care about the bluetooth function ect. I think the 800 does everything I want. Just had a look on ebay but most are going close to the £265 which they are new on amazon. As long as I can upload the maps for free (which it looks like I can) then I think amazon it is.

Vickster its £270 on hand tech - Still dont know why wiggle doesnt offer it at this price - as if I get it here I then boost my spending & will qualify for the platinum discount & not gold going forward. Do wiggle price match?

 

[Rustybucket]

Just sent wiggle an email about the price match

You need to take the VAT price on Handtec, sure you noticed that though
