FeaturesIt’s revolutionary and innovative and it’ll help your cycling performance. There’s a
lot to love about the Garmin Edge 800, the first touchscreen GPS bike computer. It’s
all about navigation and monitoring your performance, and it’s ideal for touring,
commuting, competing and mountain biking.
The Edge 800 is one of the top GPS units on the market, and comes with a built-in
basemap. It tracks your speed, distance, location, ascent and descent. You can use it
with an ANT+ heart rate monitor¹, speed/cadence sensor¹ or compatible power meter² to
perfectly analyze your training.
A perfect design
The Edge 800 is tough enough to stand up to Mother Nature, but simple enough to
respond to your touch, even in gloves. It just takes a tap to switch training pages or
pan and zoom the map. And its vivid, sunlight-readable display means you’ll have no
problem seeing your data, no matter how brightly the sun shines. Plus, the Edge 800 is
waterproof to IPX7 standards and can endure knocks and scrapes, even if you’re
mountain biking.
It’s aerodynamic and has a carbon fiber look with either blue or white accents. Plus,
it goes everywhere your bike goes with the low-profile mount. The quarter-turn mount
design not only secures your Edge 800, it allows you to use removable, reusable bands
to swap it between bikes.
Know where you’re going
The Edge 800’s maps give you a better experience, period. It comes with a built-in
basemap that covers major roads and cities, and it’s compatible with Garmin’s microSD
cards loaded with either street¹ or topo maps³. All you need to do is select your
destination and turn-by-turn directions come alive on your screen.
The Edge 800 also has a social navigation component. It can guide you on routes
recorded by other cyclists through the free website Garmin Connect. You can choose
from millions of routes uploaded by your fellow bike enthusiasts. Follow the course
with navigation and prompts, and try your best to beat the previous marks set by
Garmin Connect users. You can also create a route, view changes in elevation and
gather other data with Garmin’s free basecamp software.
And, of course, the Edge 800 uses a high-sensitivity GPS receiver that is always
locked on, even under heavy cover. Your receiver uses HotFix satellite prediction to
quickly and accurately calculate your position and adjust your time zone.
All the data you want and need
The Edge 800 tracks loads of data while you ride, and allows you three customized
training pages so you can see and analyze as much as you want. Plus, its barometric
altimeter gives you precise climb and descent data and records temperature changes.
Performance cyclists, listen up! You can link the Edge 800 with a third-party
ANT+-enabled power meter to show your power output in watts while you cycle. You’ll
get important data that shows how hard you’re working, regardless of outside
influences. Some Edge 800 models come with a heart monitor and a speed/cadence monitor.
Know your body
The Edge 800 can combine with the Tanita BC-1000 body composition scale to track your
weight, body fat, body water and six other measurements. After the Edge 800 stores the
readings, it automatically sends them to Garmin Connect once you’re in range of your
computer.
The perfect training tool
If you need a little more motivation, you can always get competitive with the Virtual
Partner, a digital depiction of your goal speed vs. your real-time speed. The Edge 800
also offers detailed workout planning, Auto Pause, Auto Lap and Courses, which
compares your performance against past rides on the same route.
Analyze and dissect
The Edge 800 allows you to pick apart your ride to the tiniest detail. Just use a USB
cable to upload your data from your PC or MAC to Garmin Connect, a free website for
sharing and data analysis. You’ll see your route plotted on a map, and a summary of
your ride and goals. And, you can share any information you want with others.
