Garmin model for downloading club runs

Thanks for all the useful comments
I'm leaning towards the mapping Garmin 800 simply for the longer training rides and eventual Lands End John O Groats and planned for H1 2013

Steve, if you want to consider Geoff's 705 let me know and I'll see if I can make it down to Market Square on a Saturday or Sunday so you can have a look over mine. Only difference I think may be newer maps on the 800 (and touchscreen I think) but as the maps are usually on an SD card you can probably buy the updated version from Garmin.

Just a thought.

(I'd offer to loan it but I've got it on the turbo at the moment so I don't accidentally spend all day on it, Adrian didn't want me turning into "8 hour a day Texan")

You lot are going to take all the fun out of a club run soon.

I only use it for recording club runs, not directions so we can still have episodes like the weekend of the awards dinner

hey steve did you not read your question !! smallest, simplest cheapest, !!

"I know ill go buy , biggest technical most expensive " lol

Enjoy

I have a route on garmin connect for Jogle...I know it the other way round but it might give you a starting point on planning and I could tell you of the good sections or sections that I would have done differently.

As was proved the other Sunday reversing the route throws GPS's into an utter state of confusion.....we should all have them !!!!
