    Garmin Edge 820, GPS Cycling/Bike Computer for Performance and Racing

    • Its a great unit though.
    • This unit (Edge 810) sucks.
    • For whatever reason the unit then becomes confused during the ride and tells me to take a random turn not in the route until after about 100 feet it tells me to complete a U-turn and gets back to the correct route
    • This units has so many positives but the screen makes it an overall NEGATIVE
    • The unit is not accurate with altitude, and that was verified with both my cheap altimeter speedo, and the iPhone altimeter app
    • Haven't checked battery on a long ride, and the gradient response does seem to be slow as noted in an earlier review, but otherwise seems to be a good unit.
    • As mentioned above, the unit inexplicably and unpredictably freezes without warning
    • So, if you care about intuitive and reliable navigation, I can actually, for the first time, recommend a Garmin unit
    • I am sure that Garmin will work all of these bugs out in the next year and that I will come to love this unit as much as I did my 810, but I just wish Garmin would do more QC on their products and not make customers do it for them.
    • The 820 is a nice unit and a nice package with some great features, but it is not stable
    • Should have never sold my GPSMAP 60 CSx....a truly great unit
    • Good:- Best Garmin unit out right now
    • I bought mine in August and the unit have been plagued with issues
    • In trying to squeeze decent (not great) battery life out of a compact unit with tons of features, I think Garmin massively under-powered the CPU on the 820
    • Again, I suspect this has to do with the CPU and the many functions the unit is trying to support
    • Love the unit and sensors
    • It's small and a good-looking unit
    • The unit is a complete joke
    • Also during my happy time when my original unit was working, I talked my husband into getting the same unit.
    • My Edge 705 is a much superior unit in this regard
