Probably not but you can check the exact spec. Sometimes (often) the units are sold with no maps and you buy those later

EDIT: Your linked ad says [i]Separate purchase required for detailed topo maps.[/i]

My understanding is that it comes with full european base maps wich show roads only.....you can buy UK OS maps on micro SD cards but they are pretty expensive which is why I didn't bother...... A paper maps cheaper and a 200 unit. 😆

That one doesn't come with any maps at all from what I can see.

Besides, that price isn't totally amazing. I paid £210 for one from Amazon in December last year. If you can wait then they (along with others probably) will be discounting them again in the run up to Christmas.

EDIT: the one I bought from Amazon was the performance bundle, including HRM & speed/cadence so the bikediscount deal is actually pretty crap in comparison!

Or just use Open Street Map for free on your 800

New one for £215.88 from Handtec. [url= http://www.handtec.co.uk/garmin-edge-800-black-blue-010-00899-01.html?gclid=CKre-7j1vcECFUPLtAodLFkA2A ]http://www.handtec.co.uk/garmin-edge-800-black-blue-010-00899-01.html?gclid=CKre-7j1vcECFUPLtAodLFkA2A[/url]
Never bought anything from them but I think they have a decent rep.

I would really recommend OpenStreetMap although I only use it for road riding. (There is an Open MTB Map but I've never used it!)
