    Garmin edge 500 is better, use your iphone with voice directions

    This reply is probably too late. But the Garmin Edge 200 is a great entry level unit. If you don't need navigation, and heart rate/cadence stats, and just want the basic data, it's a good unit that can be had for a buck fifty.

    Are there any cheaper alternatives?

    Thanks. I guess you mean Garmin bike-specific units: my Garmin Nuvi 260W (w/bike mode, whatever that means -- probably just avoids highways) does have spoken directions. I am thinking of trying to velcro it onto my helmet (so that I can hear the instructions above traffic). A friend is selling a Garmin Dakota 20 which seems better and less expensive (no spoken directions but it does have a 20-hour battery life and decent screen with polarized sunglasses; and route upload).

    Neither the Edge 500 or Edge 800 have voice instructions - actually, no Garmin devices do, only some of the cell phone based apps do. In that case, you'd probably want the Wahoo Fitness iPhone Bike Case, with some of the mapping apps.

    ...or the Edge 800 (reviewed here) I suppose! Still expensive tho' -- I'd rather get some new wheels!

    Thanks. It's quite hard to figure out what features are on each of the models (Edge 500 doesn't have voice turn-by-turn). I realized that I already have a Nüvi 260W in my car -- I could mount on the top bar, or velcro onto my helmet so I can hear the t-b-t instructions over the traffic. 260W doesn't have route uploading but the 500 doesn't have nav; for that I'd need the Edge 705 at more than $550! It's a shame there isn't a less expensive cycle nav that does it all. iPhone?

    Yup. In most cases you'll find that your arms (near your elbow), actually kinda wrap around the unit in that particular space. It pretty much happens naturally for most folks.

    If you don't need the map/navigation - just go with the Edge 500 instead, cheaper, and without the map/navigation. If you want the clarity of this display though, then that's a reason to select it over the Edge 500.

    I guess this is intended for performance/training, not for navigation -- in this case, also no need for the map display? How useful is it, really, when you are moving?

    Cyclists don't need maps! That's too distracting and a waste of battery life. What we need is clear turn-by-turn voice instructions! Come on Garmin, even my old 260W does that (and has a 5-hour battery life).

    Too bad you had to mount it on the clip bars. Nice road, where is that?

    Yes, assuming you have bought the European maps (or downloaded ones from online for it), it'll work just fine.

    no voice? I'm not sure If I could hear that bleeping on my motorized bicycle. And because the mbike is considerably faster than non-mbike, dangerous to be looking at gps alot. Well, I guess I would have to just learn to glance quickly, motor noise and wind noise anyway.

    The garmin 800 is an issue when there is no decent stem for it to mount on. I believe at this point to use the main tube.
