Garmin Edge 800

The aerodynamic Garmin Edge 800 has a carbon fibre look with either blue or white accents and attaches to the stem or handlebar of your bike with the low-profile mount. A quarter-turn mount design holds unit securely and lets you easily swap it between bikes using removable, reusable bands.

Never lose Your Trail
Whether your bike is a means of transportation or escape, with maps at your fingertips, it makes every journey easy and more fun. The Garmin Edge 800 comes with a built-in basemap that shows all major roads and cities.

Garmin Edge 800 can also guide you along routes recorded by fellow cyclists. Explore the Garmin Connect site and choose from millions of rides uploaded by other users, perfect for a quiet weekend. Any activities you upload to your Garmin Edge 800 are stored as courses. You can follow the course with navigation prompts or, for a little competition, race it and try to beat previously set goals. You can also use Garmin’s free Basecamp software or other applications to create a route, view elevation changes and other data, and then upload to Edge.

Garmin Edge 800 records your every move with a high-sensitivity GPS receiver that stays locked on, even under tree cover. The receiver features HotFix satellite prediction to calculate your position faster, plus it has automatic time zone adjustment.

Get the Stats
Garmin Edge 800 tracks a bunch of data from your ride and lets you customize up to three training pages so you can see as much or as little data as you want. The barometric altimeter provides extra-precise climb and descent data and records temperature changes.
