Great, just bought an 800 for almost the only reason that the course feature on the 500 seemed helplessly broken from what I've read at the garmin forums. Now to decide if it's worth saving some money and returning the 800 to pick up the 500. Decisions, decisions, ...

Time: 01:00:48
Moving Time: 01:00:42
Elapsed Time: 01:03:00
