Garmin Edge 800

[Known by my posts [FBF]]

Unsure what you are suggesting with the open source.....

Just that maps are available althouggh not as good as the OS, if using it mostly in UK its what I'd get.

A real font of knowledge aren't you tim.

I did my homework before I got my 800. Too much money to spend until I knew it would do all I wanted. You can find a lot reading between the lines on Google and Wiki. Just don't take it all as gospel until you have got the same tale from several places.

I did say it pays to check around. There seems to be a bit of a price war going on. Evans, £337.49. I paid £250 for mine but did not need maps, HR belt or GSC10.

Hells Bells - the price is coming down all the time...

Wise words right there. What bikes you got?

That's excellent... Thanks. Shame that it seems to have slightly out of date prices but a good place to start searching.

The only gripe i really have is when i'm following a route the arrow that tells you to turn is very small.
I would have liked to have a big arrow pop up on the screen and say "TURN HERE DICKHEAD"

Sounds like you haven't got the Turn by Turn directions switched ON.
There's some great screenshots showing you exactly what you need here:
