Garmin Tourer

[gbs]

This product was quietly launched last year. Does any one have experience? It has the nav features that one would expect but not the performance package and hence is cheaper than the full blown 800/810/1000

WHY THE SHOUTING IN YOUR THREAD TITLE?

I took a look at it, but it doesn't do anything the 810 doesn't aside from the novelty 'find me three circular routes from here' thing which I suspect I'd use once and never again. Personally I went for the 810.

or you could wait and get the Garmin 1000 ...

so sorry I treat titles as a way of catching attention.

Ian, Thanks for the link - very helpful and better than official Garmin bumpf.

I've got one. Thread here with some thoughts.

I was looking at the Tourer @ £200 and the Tourer Plus @ £250. Still a lot of money for a stripped back 800.
Evans and Wiggle currently have the 800 with hrm, cadence and European City maps for £299. My thinking is if i decide not to use hrm and cadence, i can sell them to offset the initial cost
Mine arrived yesterday .... something to think about before going for the tourer versions

I got the tourer for £165 when somewhere had a flash one day sale. Might have been chain reaction.com.
