Comments about Garmin Edge 800 Wireless Bike Computer:

I'm not a road rider, so this review is geared towards you off road guys and gals. PC Interface not obvious. There are lots of Blogs out there on how to get this thing to sync to your PC. It's not just plug-n-play. Uploading to the Garmin web site is a cool feature, but make sure your hold the RESET button at the end of your ride. I had trouble getting it to SYNC to the website when I forgot to RESET. Downloading other rider's courses is a cool feature and will definitely help you find your way around new trails. That said, the MAP interface when following someone else's downloaded ride isn't the best. The GPS-screen alternates between telling you when the next turn is coming up and the actual MAP of the course itself. I'm a MAP guy and just want the dang screen to be able to lock onto MAP view. Combine that with the fact that the graphics processor isn't the fastest and the lost satellite coverage I experience when under a big canopy of forest trees, and it makes for a tough ride through the woods. That's why I recommended it for road riders and those folks who pedal off road through deserts. Touch screen is nice, but it's no iPhone. Just a head's up for you iPhone users. It's not the same. Price is a CON, because it's about $100 too much IMO. If you go the bundled route, wow, ouch. I liked how it mounted to my bike. My bars are aluminum and there are tons of rubber bands in the kit to allow it to fit on your bike just right. If you have carbon, make sure you mount it on top of the rubber saucers that are included in the kit (there are 2, one for each bike or a spare if you only ride one). WIRELESS means *wireless* for the HR monitor and the pedal cadence counter thingy. Not *wireless* for SYNC-ing to your PC, other riders, etc. Happy Trails :)

Comments about Garmin Edge 800 Wireless Bike Computer:

This computer works great and will track everything you ever wanted.For the people who say he screen is not good or they can't read it. The simple answer is that they are blind. They are compairing it to a normal bike computer like a cateye, sigma and so on. They are compairing two COMPLETELY DIFERENT types of displays! A normal cateye or sigma computer has a LCD (Liquid Crystal Display), not as good of resolution and are not color display. The edge 800 has a LED display more like the one in your smart phone. Color, better resolution and Touch screen that works with full finger gloves! I personaly have not had a problem reading the display in bright sun, shade or cloudy weather with or with out the back light. Maybe some people got some faulty screens but that is how things go. Really any time you buy something electronic you are taking a chance of getting a bad apple, no if an's or buts, its just part of technology.The garmin software is nice, could use some fine tuning and add on's but all in all it works well for tracking rides and other data. You can even share them with friends.I have a heart rate monitor and the speed sensor and they work great with it.Has three Different bike profiles. Perfect for me as I can use one computer for all three of my bikes!The base maps are not very detailed so it would be a good idea to get the map SD card.Works with my Tanita scale.Oh and Please if you are going to throw down the green for this. Please buy a screen protector! I think you should be able to buy a $20 screen protector if your looking at this. I bought one from Zagg and it works fine. Touch screen still works with full finger cycle gloves. Also have the garmin silicone cover for it which fits and covers it very nice. If you want it to last alteast try and protect it a little. I would say a screen protector is 100% needed if you are going to take it on a mountain bike.The USB cover can be a pain to get on right but after a couple times of doing it you get the hang of it.If you really want a full indepth review of this got to [@]

Comments about Garmin Edge 800 Wireless Bike Computer:

I ride to work about once or twice a week (about 10 miles one way) and I do some around-the-neighborhood cycling as well as some walking and hiking in the southern California area. Pretty accurate overall, especially on the non-road sections (like the flood control area I pedal down on the way to work. I love the little map section, a much needed improvement over the Edge 500 which I had previously. I've seen other reviews that tell how horrible it is to read, and I've honestly never had that issue. White background and black numbers are crisp and clear every time I glance at it. Just as much data on the other page(s), totally customizable, and works great with my heart rate monitor. MUCH more accurate than the old magnet-on-the-tire setup I had before either of the Edge units PLUS I get to use the free Garmin Connect software and upload the track of my ride and see how far I've gone, my average speed, calories burned, etc. All in all I absolutely love the thing, the only down side I have is the handlebar mount. Although the twist thing holds it to the mount securely the rubber band type things attaching it to the actual handlebar is sort of slippery and if I hit a button I have to readjust the position so I can read it again.

Comments about Garmin Edge 800 Wireless Bike Computer:

I love my new GPS. It's a great cycling computer and the GPS is wonderful to record the details of my rides. I bought this less expensive unit to get started and fully expect to upgrade to all the accessories.
This Garmin has a touch screen too which is a big upgrade. The displays are flexible and the accuracy is superb. I think the last bicycle odometer that I had was mounted on the fork with a little peg that clicked a cog every time the wheel went around. This one is Star Wars compared to that.
It's pretty intuitive to use but some first timers may not get the touch screen 'buttons' and sizing details. This is easy to learn and other riders are always glad to help out.
One problem that plagued me initially was not turning off my ride before driving home. Then you get a weird stripe on your map as the GPS follows your highway ride home.
Tracking your training and rides is a huge advantage to help map your progress and improvements. This Garmin is the best unit like this by far.

Comments about Garmin Edge 800 Wireless Bike Computer:

I have owned 5 different Garmin GPs devices but I am very disappointed in this one for the price. It is not that simple to figure out and it is too expensive. At [$] you should not have to pay another $80 to buy the maps. I returned mine.

Comments about Garmin Edge 800 Wireless Bike Computer:

I use the Edge 800 to track all of my road rides.
Its great to be able to review how far I rode, altitude gain and loss, speed, etc.
Mounted to the steering stem gooseneck, the angle makes it difficult to read. I inserted a wedge under the bottom edge to tilt it up a bit.

Comments about Garmin Edge 800 Wireless Bike Computer:

I got this primarily to avoid having wireless sensors for the speedometer ( some get interference from LED lights, namely Shimano flite Deck). Strangely, I have the GSC10 speed and cadence sensor on all three bicycles. The GSC10 seems to have an awkard mount, but it does work very well with a nice strong signal to the Edge 800. But the sensor is not needed for accurate speed and distance measurement. Really only needed for cadence indication, if that is an important function for some. Haven't tried the heart monitor since I figure that if I am still conscious, my heart must be okay.

I am particularly impressed with the incline calculations. It updates very quickly even on short hills such a bridge ramps etc.

I like the touch screen for easy screen changes while riding. The Garmin Connect for uploading,storing, and sharing ride data is also nice. Haven't tried downloading any routes yet.

That said, I am not impressed by the map functions. It is very hard to read while riding, and manipulation of the map is best done while stopped. Scrolling around trying to find upcoming streets and turns is awkard since the touchscreen is slow to respond. Maps are expensive and not upgradeable without buying a new SD card. Guess I am spoiled by automobile GPS systems.

Battery life appears to be good, at least from my experience. It charges up quickly. Wish the battery was replaceable though and spares could be obtained.
