As the title says is there an sd card which would do for road and off-road cycling? I'm looking to buy one but don't have a clue which to buy! Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks Ben

Have a look at open mountain bike mapping, good maps, with contours for free...

Works really well.

I don't know how to get those type of maps up on my 810 tho tbh as I'm not great with tech. I'll give it a try but thought an sd card would just be an easy option (with maps on)

The site I shared a link to has got very clear step by step guides but you will need the micro sd card to put the downloaded maps on.

So I just need a blank micro sd card then I can download the maps onto it?

Cheers Ben

I got a Garmin 800 recently, and used an old phone micro SD card to put the maps on it. Roughly, you need to create a folder on the SD card called Garmin and save the maps to that folder - as long as you check the format is correct, it really isn't difficult.

I just followed the instructions from [url= http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2013/05/download-garmin-705800810.html ]here[/url] and once I realised i needed to create the folder, it all worked perfectly.
