I am doing some research into GPS cycle computers with satNav function for off road routes. I have looked at Garmin 705 and the 800- is the 800 significantly better for mapping and ease of use? Any other suggestions other than the two mentioned?

Thanks

I have recently bought the 800 and am very happy with it, http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2010/08/garmin-edge-800-in-depth-first-look.html is a great review that helped sway me. I bought the discovery pack with the 1:50 000 Ordnance survey. I got myself the Garmin road maps, which are a lot better when roadying. I can't comment on the 705 as I've not seen one in the flesh.

http://corp.brytonsport.com/ maybe worth a look too, I have seen some roadys with these, but have no experience.

i think the 800 is significantly smaller and lighter than the 705 but not too sure if it differs too much on the inside............anyone?

Thanks for the replies- that review was very helpful. Anyone else tried the Edge 705? or Bryton 50?
Thanks
