I never had a problem with my 800 after I figured out the correct settings. My protocols: I never load or record data into the main 800 memory. Instead, I use 4-8 GB microSD cards. The 800 is set to...

A couple times, on event rides, I've been suckered off course in the dim early light by 20 riders who all went the wrong way. That's pre-GPS. Only a few bonus miles, though. Sometimes they turn...

Our Edge 800 does fine in day-long hard rain. We don't plug in auxiliary power under these conditions. The touch screen is surprising scratch-free after 3 years of use.

Have you tried plugging your Edge into a power source using the short charger cable that came with your Garmin charger? I have one, and it is the non-standard cable of which you speak. So think all...
