Where in Asda did you find them? I've been in two Asdas today (both reasonably big) and couldn't find them anywhere. None of the staff seemed to know anything about them either!

Donington, Telford....... right as you walk in, theyve a little TDF section, 4 bikes and some bits and bobs.

you can get them for £79 anywhere - yes £10 less but not worth driving all over and losing sleep for!

I called Patchway (Cribbs) today, they still had them, so I went over & bought one ! Can't wait to get out & try it !

Would have got one as I get staff discount but decided to use my old Etrex instead and a cable from Ebay. Does the job.

Hi, Do these have cycle paths on their navigation, like the sustrans routes?

 

[Matt-g]

Thanks for the advice, it Sounds a bit pants to be honest. I was hoping it would have been more like a gps with cycle tracks preprogrammed. The other functions can be catered for by a cheap cycle computer for a few quid.

Does anyone know what model in the range would cater for this?

Thanks

800/810

Touring/Touring+

or 1000 if you're feeling particularly flush.

Yup - all three have maps on board (Garmin's maps, based on Open Cyclemap). The 800/810 can be used like this, but you need to load Opencyclemap/Openstreet map on a micro SD card which you then use in the device (it will cost you a fiver or so for the card, and a little bit of time downloading and unpacking the files). FWIW, the 800 performance bundle is £223 at Wiggle at the moment (includes HRM and Cadence/speed sensor).

Velogps have some videos of the "breadcrumb trail" navigation you can use on the 200/500/510 online.

AFAIK, only the touring/touring + offer a "give me a circular ride of x distance from here" option, but I don't know the spec of the 1000, beyond knowing that it has the Garmin cycling maps bundled.

The Edge 200 is fine for following a route if you pre-plan.

Have a look at this it might be enough for your needs.

A tcx file from ridewithgps will add the turn directions automatically and a breadcrumb trail.

The big Asda at Spondon in Derby had a display yesterday. Edge 200s and those watch things. To the right as you walk in.
