NHRA Nitro Time

This weekends race is in Denver, CO. Check it out on ESPN2.

Garmin Edge 800 & 605 Photo's

The first thing you notice is how much bigger the actual screen is on the 800. The 800 is shorter and a bit narrower than the 605. I have the protective silicone sleeve on the 800 so it looks a tad wider in this photo.



The 800 has the Topo 24K map card in it, the 605 has the City Navigator map card in it.




Notice the "Timer On" label on the 605? I have a tendency to forget to turn it back on after I've stopped for a break.

A couple of things I've already noticed about the 800. The mount is lame, I don't like the idea of two Orings securing the mount to the bike. That may be why there are at least 3 after market mounts out there already. The second thing is the on/off button. It's very hard to push it in far enough to feel the click before it powers up or down. Hopefully it will get easier with use.

I have high expectations on this new Edge 800, I hope it doesn't let me down.
