All,
Halfords have got back Edge 800's GB Discover packs for £256.99 (281.99 less £25 at checkout)... less more if you use topcashback and the like. These are the ones with the whole of the UK in 1:50k.
I ordered one last week before they ran out of stock & it arrived a few days later. In fact, they're now a couple of quid cheaper still.....
Cheapest from anywhere by a LOOOONG way.
(They also have the road pack with HR and cadence for a few quid more)
I hope this offer stays til January 
bugger, just bought a bundle edge 500 from CRC at £225 and they have em at £170.
Bloody typical.
Vortex, the edge 500 is £155 at checkout to make the pain worse 
Bugger they were out of stock when I ordered one from Wiggle a few days ago. That's a total bargain.
Oh man.....kinda wish I hadn't clicked on this!
Almost too good a bargain to miss. And given that the 800 isn't that much more than the 500, it seems like it's worth spending a bit more on the 800.....don't really need it though....
oh bugger! Decisions decisions.....
The 800 is brilliant - if that helps!
I'd been looking at 705's for a few weeks on ebay - all going for nearly £200... nearly bought an 800 from Wiggle when they had the extra 15% off which made them 300 with platinum discount aswell - at the time, that was the cheapest...
Stumbled on the Halfords deal and couldn't resist!!
I'm very tempted to go for the cadence, HRT monitor and euro mapping for my road bike.
Been using my iphone for a while.
Hmm.

Fingers in ears....laaa laaaa laaaaa.....
brilliant cheers. Using my christmas and birthday money to buy an edge. was close to spending 225 on a 500 at wiggle. for 75 quid more I can have 800, with all the gubbins, and euro mapping. or 500 for 155, money left over for other stuff. decisions, decisions!
How well would one of these work as just a heart rate monitor, for example if I was doing a turbo trainer session.....?
fine - they have a setting to turn off gps. If you have the cadence/speed sensor, you will also get speed info as well as heart rate. you need to go for one of the packs with the HR monitor and cadence sensor (the os map one doesn't come with either - I already had them).
stumpy, perfectly, and you have cadence and speed off the back wheel too.
Cool - I think I might go for the 500 version.....
Is there a difference between this 'discover pack' and the 'trail bundle' that the likes of CRC are selling? Can't see anything obvious 
no, its the same - just described differently by different retailers.
Just bought the 500 with HR monitor and cadence sensor. Been after one of these for ages and at that price it would be rude not too. Next day delivery for £3 too.
Total bargain.
Thanks cp
Edit - both for the PSA and the clarification
think I'll get the 500 tonight. my mate just paid 240 for the 'premium' edition of the 500 (better HR strap). to say he's gutted is an understatement
Does this have a same maps and functionality as a standalone Garmin Satnav as well as the OS 1:50000 maps?
ie can I use it in the car for postcode to postcode navigation?
If it does then its going in the basket!
I believe, though I've not tried it, that the OS maps ARE routable for the roads.
I appear to have accidently ordered one. oops.
Unless they've changed from the 705 you can't do 7-digit postcode directions, but you can type in an address and it'll navigate to that. Won't talk to you, but will flash up when you need to make a turn.
There's every chance they've updated that on the 800 anyway though.
So it has all the proper roads in for the UK, including residential streets and minor roads?
Slightly more discount (10% - applied instead of the £25 off £200) if you use the code NUSDEC11 at the checkout..
CHB -- from the Garmin website

If you get either City Navigator or the OS bundle yes.
most seem to be sold out.

They're never available in-store, only online... All of them are (for the time being) still available.
To the original poster,
Sir, you are a scholar and a gentleman! Have just ordered my 800 from halfords. Though if my girlfriend finds out I may be in trouble as I wasn't supposed to buy stuff before Christmas. (If you are reading dear then I love you:))
Well done again for both finding and posting this, you have made me a happy chappie.
Oh, I'm actually in massive trouble anyway as my girlfriends edge 500 won't be as shiney or new as my 800.
Thanks again from the probably soon be single tcomc!
Also try the Best Buy website - they are closing down.
I eventually bought a 500 HRM for £120, after (via the web) agreeing a store collection on it at £170. Whilst thier to collect, I noted the one in the display case and asked "how much for the ex-display"....
Came fully equipped and working.
I have received grudging approval from the financial controller 
Right anyone want to buy a pre-owned 205?
Thanks to cp for the PSA & to frogstomp for the 10% discount code, it works, I'm now £253.79 poorer.
Not sure how to say this, but thanks to the kindness of the OP, and the "commit to buy" button on the Halfords website, the kids are now going to have a thrifty Christmas, I will be in the doghouse, and there will be moody silences throughout the Christmas holiday. Still, I'll be happy with my new toy!
Does anyone want a Magellan 500 Explorer GPS with all mapping software included for, lets say £256? It's got a colour screen, the whole of the UK mapping, and is, quite possibly, the worst GPS anyone could ever have designed. Bargain though as it would have cost over £400 new.
