REI has the 800's. LOVE the smaller size, lighter weight. I have a 705, so it's gonna take a lot to convince me to upgrade, but it's just so thin and light and easy to use that I just might have no choice!

For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.
I used this for the first time on saturday & thought it was quite the thing. There are a few things that drove me nuts & will have to figure out before I use it again:
You can't see your estimated time of arrival if you don't download a trail/route (Rather important for an Audax or Mtb event)
The screen keeps moving to a new page every few seconds
I also can't figure out why a trail we've downloaded from bikely & put on google earth won't upload (download?) to the Garmin.
I'm new to all this....
So far so good.
Have fun with your new toy!
My Garmin is a Dakota and I've found that it does generally do everything I want it to do, but it can be a bit of a faff working out how to set it right.
