Ordered the 800 on Neuvation today. Pretty good price plus an additional 10% off for deal of the day. A great birthday gift from She Who Must Be Obeyed.

I was wavering between the 500 and the 800 but ended up going with the 800 for the mapping. I do a lot of club rides and it can be a real pain to refer to the paper map to figure out routes I'm not familiar with. Does anyone have experience with the 800 creating maps online and then downloading them to the unit?

Wireless and I got the cadence kit as well. I bought it on supersale from them. Paid $17.95 and then $8 for the cadence kit. Works great for me, but I wouldnt pay more than $30 for the set.

I use this as well. I swap the head unit between my two bikes. One of my bikes has the cadence transmitter...the other doesn't. I'm happy with it. I took the time last year to really dial in the wheelsize setting so that the routeslips I print from RideWithGPS are now very accurate. I rode a new 50 mile route last week and every turn was accurate to a tenth of a mile...I hate getting lost.
