What are your cycling best and worst recomendations?

I also use the 800 with ridewithgps. No problems here either. I use free maps found online which don't violate the license :-)

And I'm one of those odd ones who is anti gloves. I can't find a pair that doesn't give me a problem in one way or another.

You are not alone, my second son never wears gloves, and he rides road,trail,downhill and dirt jumps......and yes he has lost palm skin a few times! I guess some folks just don't find them comfortable....

I will try to use the ridewithgps.com instead of mapmyride. Unfortunately, most of the routes that we are interested in is on mapmyride. We have problems downloading routes already done by other people on to our Garmin's. You would think that you could just export the GPX files on to the Garmin and then, voila, it's there. But nope, it's a hit a miss situation (although it does seem to work a little more often through Garmin's free Basecamp software).

Also, supposedly, the Garmin 800 gives turn-by-turn directions as you bike/drive once the route has been downloaded to the Garmin, but nope. The Garmin 800 does give turn-by-turn directions if you plug in an address.
