If anyone's still looking for one of these there are some in the Cardonald branch of Aldi @ £49.99.

Good introductory price into the world of sat nav had mine for 3 years I think before upgrading

The touring can't be paired with heart rate monitor nor cadence sensor, so if you think there is any likelihood you may want those, get an 800 instead

The touring + has cadence

yeah kinda got it to work now, quite buggy tho, like i edited the time on a route i made on the garmin connect site and tried re loading to the 200 but it hasnt changed it from the original time!
also added a map from strava, it shows on the 200 but not on the garmin connect site so i cant edit the time from .4 mph!

You can create a route on garmin connect go to courses in the side menu , that will go to the 200 ok

The touring + must be a newer model, it didn't exist when I got my 800 (just the touring)

They were both released for sale nearly the same time. Touring Oct 2013, Plus Nov 2013.

Edit: The 800 was released for sale Nov 2010

Fair enough, I didn't look that closely I guess. I can't even remember when I got the 800, but with bargain maps from eBay, the 800 with HR and cadence was no more expensive (although I needn't have bothered with the HRM and cadence as they've never been used)

[QUOTE 3821759, member: 259"]Out of curiosity how much did you pay for the maps on eBay?

Everyone I know with a Garmin 800 uses the OpenStreetMaps for free.[/QUOTE]
About £25, they were a very good deal. The official Garmin Europe city maps in unopened packaging etc. I'm crap with gadgets and free software, hence I just bought the ones as loading was hassle free. Just stuck in an SD card and done

Just checked, £24.99 + £2.49 postage in 2013. Think they retail for £60+
