One of the most common questions we get asked around here is “when is Garmin bringing out something new”.1) We haven’t got our hands on it just yet.
2) After DC rainmaker has done a review there is not much more I can add.
Follow this link for a look at DC rainmakers review of the Edge 800
DC Rainmaker Edge 800 Review
Below are a couple of the functions the Edge 800 has this I find interesting and think will be useful.
It will feature Satellite imagery – know as Birdseye Satellite Imagery
Subscribers to BirdsEye Satellite Imagery can quickly transfer high-resolution satellite images to Edge 800 and seamlessly integrate those images into the onscreen maps to get a true representation of the surroundings. And Garmin’s Custom Maps can bring the details, labels and landmarks of your existing paper or electronic map to Edge 800 in just a few simple steps. (Not available off the shelf model – has an additional subscription fee)
Touch Screen
I am a fan of touch screen myself I find it a bit easier just to touch the screen rather than use button to navigate the menu so I was happy to hear the Edge 800 is touch screen as well as having kept the to button to assist navigation. After reading DC rainmakers review I would be happy to say that it still keeps the touch screen functionality while using gloves.
Also with the other Garmin Edge models it supports ANT + transmitters. So it will compatible with your old Garmin or ANT+ heart rate strap, ANT+ Power meters and speed cadence sensors.
