Another question for those who have the edge 800,
those openstreetmap links posted by cp above have downloads of jpg map files of all sorts of countries.If I download a jpg and bung it onto my miniSD card, can i put this into the edge800 and will it read it? does it know how to locate the all the jpg maps relative to GPS?
i guess it wouldn't do satnav type routes, just show you where you are right?
so does that mean that the 1:50bundle OS has more map data in?thanks!

no, it's not the jpg you need - that just gives an overview of what's included. You need a .img file which are linked to... and it needs to be a 'routeable' one.

Just ordered a Garmin Edge 500, but can't collect it until 29th Dec.
BOO!!
Something to look forward to once I have opened all my pressies though!!

Ordered the 800 Monday might and it just arrived, even though I didn't pay for quick delivery. Superb.
Big thank you to CP and Frogstomp for the code tip.Posted 5 months ago # -
Mine has just arrived as well, brilliant deal so thanks for the heads up from the OP and for the extra discount code as well.
One question I now have - I've registered the device on My Garmin, but when I try to register the maps, the option for Garmin GB Discoverer - All of Great Britain isn't there in the list, although there are lots of other options. Anyone else had this problem, and if so how did you get round it?
Posted 5 months ago # -
Excellent find!
Just received an 800 with the discoverer maps (OS).
Anyone any idea if you can replace the duff basemap with open street map to get more 'sat nav' style mapping for road use?
Posted 5 months ago # -
I got the Navigator bundle as I have OS maps already and wanted sensors without having to order them from someone else. Very nice looking bit of kit. I think talkytoaster might have what you need clowner.
Posted 5 months ago # -
Clowner. If you've got the OS maps enabled just set the unit to read in automotive mode. It will look just like a car sat nav, with all roads/streets and POI's etc.
Posted 5 months ago # -
How do you set it to automotive mode?
I've set the routing to car/motorbike as thats all I can see that would be similar but it hasn't changed the map.
Have figured out how to load custom maps using Mobile Atlas - loaded Google earth photos for local area. Very impressed.

Try .... Tools. System. Map. Orientation. - Automotive Mode.
Good luck.Posted 5 months ago # -
Thats done the trick.

Cheers cp and frogstomp.
Looks like i've got an 800 with gb mapping on the way.
Been looking at these for ages and waiting for the price to come down a bit.
Posted 5 months ago # -
Mine's ordered. With the extra 10% off as well. Arrives New Years Eve. Which is a pity as we're in Holland, but has the advantage that I now have time to describe the necessity of having one to Mrs W.
Posted 5 months ago # -
By far and away the most replied to thread ive ever started!!
Mine's stashed as a pressi to myself for playing with over Xmas
Price is still excellent, even at raised levels and without extra discount..
Surprised they're still putting them out cheap!

Bugger just used my £50 off CRC voucher to get it for £309
arrived on Saturday, and it is as good as everyone says even just after a week.For those of you who have managed to get one I found this really useful

useful link. Ta. I've been messing around with mine and that's cleared up a few questions. Certainly somewhat more complex than my 205!
Quick Q, I use tracklogs for route planning, always used the "courses" option when saving (as opposed to routes or tracks) on the 205 as that's all that worked. Still the same with the 800 does anyone know?

Prices up by about 10% today
10% off at checkout automatically applied and with the NUSDEC11 code it comes to £255. Got one sat it basket now...
Posted 5 months ago # -
Yeah, I know about the code, but the base prices have gone up by roughly 10% since yesterday.
Edit: Oh...I see...a 10% Xmas discount bringing the price down, then apply voucher at checkout. Doh!
Posted 5 months ago # -
not followed it closely enough to see if they've put the base prices up to coincide with (and effectively cancel out) the extra 10% Xmas checkout discount, just plugged it all through to see what the current price is (got a big b'day in new year so could be a pressy idea).

Thanks CP,
Just ordered mine £255 with the code - bargaintastic
