Garmin 200

just got one today, for my new Giant defy Advanced Composite 2. wow. only $150 ($50 more than a Cateye Wireless) and no magnets, no tire/wheel size to fiddle with. comes with 2 mounts, and it will switch between 2 bike data sets. everything a nice Cateye gives you plus it saves rides, gives you elevation gained, and (roughly) computes calories burned. more later in another thread on the Defy (its a 2011).

I've been using the Garmin 205 for years. Love it but the battery is about to die. So was looking at the 200 or 500 to replace it.

If you don't want heart rate and cadence, the Garmin 200 is a great choice. I sprung for the 500 and like the HRM, even though I don't like the numbers it reports.

I'm trying to figure out if you can get turn-by-turn on the 200. Do you know if it's possible to get this screen on the 200?

That's from the 500.

No, you can not. But you can get a breadcrumb trail.

Actually there is a 30 dollar rebate on new ones right now. Just need to download the rebate coupon. I found a hell of a deal here>>>https://www.fatwallet.com/forums/hot-deals/1207575/
