I'm using an 800, it's great. Touch screen works with gloves on, isn't fooled by the rain. Supports power (I'm using it with Vectors).
current update:
Garmin 800 - amazon certified refurb is $230, and someone selling on a FB forum is selling the 800 with the bundle for $230 also. he said he has an extra mount he can give me worth $35 by barfly. - I figure this is better than the 510 model used for $210 with nothing else included.
520 coming out, which has map function, but $299.
$150+tax 10% store credit for the 510 model new from performance bike (its 20% off), and new means I have to buy a mount but new means warranty/returnable vs the risk of buying used but saving $$
Magellan Cyclo 315: amazon refurb is $263
everything else suggested goes above $300
-- for used from a private seller, I am leaning to the 800, for new, the 500 since it is less out of pocket.
How risky is it to buy used? I assume these things last a long time but it is a chance.
