Review: Garmin Edge 200 GPS Bike Computer

[Roadrider48]

Why the need for exclusivity bike-wise? My Etrex 20 has a bike mount and gets used on road and on the mtb, has a dashboard mount for those times when only a car or van will do, and sometimes goes walkabout on two legs.

Ah ok Gregory, I didn't realise it came with a bike mount. That sounds like it might very well suit me then. Thanks a lot for pointing me in that direction.

Edge Touring is sounding more like your thing by the sounds of it: http://www.evanscycles.com/products/garmin/edge-touring-ec054707

Thanks Rad. Does that have a turn by turn picture display though? Like the Etrex. Not a breadcrumb trail, but a proper road picture with road numbers and street names.

Gudarnit, no wonder you need turn by turn, I'm surprised you've found your way onto CycleChat - the internet has other places to explore ya knows !

Ha ha ha. I am a pain, I know. Thanks again. That looks like the one I need. I am indeed grateful.

I like my 200. I don't need all the bells and whistles. Mapping, as much as I'd appreciate it, is an expensive luxury.

It did irritate me that the data screen doesn't show the time but after nine months I've finally worked out that holding the bottom *left* button takes you back to the main screen. That'll do.

It did irritate me that the data screen doesn't show the time but after nine months I've finally worked out that holding the bottom right button takes you back to the main screen. That'll do.

Bottom Left on my 200

Ive just bought one of these too, and although its only been used a couple of times, I cannot fault it. £79.99 at halfords on a price match they had.
