"Its great, wish I got one ages ago, makes solo riding fun racing your virtual partner. No more need for paper maps for my Lands End John O 'Groats ride etc."

Pros: very easy to create routes
Cons: expensive
"Easy to use, good features (i'm mainly interested in the gps capabilities rather than performance bundle). Has allowed me to explore new routes around south birmingham/worcester/warwickshire without worry of getting lost or stopping to look at maps... has added a new dimension to my cycling after 12,000 miles on familiar routes! Great. I mainly use the garmin connect web site to create routes and then download - and it is seemless. The device itself seems well-made, fairly intuitive to use, although i need to work out some bits out still (like turning on and off the direction guidance). It is very expensive - but may come down in price when the next modle appears."

"Still learning how to use the device as it has so much functionality. Major disappointment on first big outing as the file would not upload to Garmin connect. Ok since and very pleased with it but quite expensive."

"Very pleased with this gadget, wasn't sure because of price especially when attaching to my mountain bike. I've used it a few weeks and wish I'd had one for years. it's a neat size, balanced well between weight, screen size etc Fixes well to bike and quality construction. Glad I got the one with maps and love all the stats it generates such as route, speed, elevation and heart rate. Now going to use it as a sat nav!"

"Absolutely love this computer. I had a pretty good bike computer previously but always wanted to upgrade to one where I could compete against myself and others, record my performance and plan courses on the Garmin website. The 800 ticks all the boxes. I was impressed with Halfords which had the best price and super fast delivery. I wish the in store team were as good!!!"

Pros: simple to set up, great use interface
Cons: not cheap but then again what price functionality
"After much deliberation, and a great promo being run on the halfords site. I purchased the edge 800 with cadence/heart monitor, and european mapping.
It was really easy to set up both in terms of the unit itself and on to the bike.
Using this out on ride gives me instant access to how much climbing I have completed, and key topics like speed, average cadence etc, being able to set up the screens to your own requirements is a great feature, tailoring it to your own requirements.
Linking into Garmin connect ensure you can review your ride in real detail, as well download routes etc if your going on a sportive. A friend has an 800 and used it for a London to paris organised event, and it saved him from a wrong turn that others took, so invaluable tool.
If your thinking of buying one, take the plunge, you won't be disappointed"

"I put off buying one of these for some time - wish I hadn't. Fantastic - means I can explore all the small backroads near home without getting lost. Simply map the route and transfer to the Garmin then I m away. Highly recommended"

Pros: easy to use, comprehensive
Cons: pricey
"What a device. Tad expensive but with Maps and performance modules this Edge 800 is outstanding for a cyclist. Within 2 weeks I'd improved my best ride to work time (23 miles) by over 4 minutes. The Garmin software and online dashboard is an addition beyond expectation. Really delighted with the purchase and the Halfords price which was best I could find."

Pros: small neat and waterproof., quickly picks up satellites., seems to be well built.
Cons: cost is expensive when compared to car units.
"Although expensive, this is a great bit of kit to have with you on the road. The interface and controls take a little while to get used to, but gives very good feedback on ride data once you have sussed it out. The Garmin instantly links with the included heart and cadence monitors keeping track of my performance."

"An excellent computer and GPS for your bike. The link to Garmin Connect is very easy and offers so much data and graphs. The ability to save your course and set new challenges and objectives as well as find other peoples rites and courses is a big plus for me. An excellent piece of kit. Virtual partner makes you train harder."

Pros: easy to use and setup, touch screen
Cons: a bit pricey
"Had the edge 200 and upgraded to the 800 and boy what a difference to my performance, this makes you work harder against all previous times etc HRmonitor and cadence works a treat once paired nothing else to do connects everytime straight away..
easy to use even with thick gloves on touch screen is a blessing leaving only 2 buttons to press everything else is done via the touch screen.even connects to my bc1000 health monitor scales and a all the garmins the garmin connect site is a great place to find other routes etc battery life is great too lasts for well over 12 hours on single charge"
