Geite Posted June 11, 2014 Share Hi fellow MTB fans, I am looking at getting the Garmin 810...Just a quick question. Can the Garmin 810 load "maps" of other riders? I am talking about routes through Jonkershoek/Eden as example? If so, how easy is it to follow the route instructions whilst riding? I ask these questions in bike shops and funny enough the people that are selling these products do not know the answers. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awesme Posted June 11, 2014 Share Our SA sales people are generally pathetic about knowing what they sell. Yes, you can load maps/rides from others, you can also create your own. How easy to follow, can't comment, but then it's a Garmin, they pretty much set the standard, everyone uses them, have a look at forums.garmin.com, the 810 has a specific sub section. Don't get scared...I just one myself last week, spreading the spending out, thinking of trying to get a Sani entry for next year, this way I already got it but the time I need to spend for Sani...

Cippo Posted June 11, 2014 Share If you looking for a local guy to chat to about Garmin pm Tankman, no disrespect to others but he knows his $##£. Make a plan to go see him in Stellies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motard660 Posted June 12, 2014 Share I bought one for myself and one for my wife during the week at Cape Union Mart. I am REALLY impressed with this little devise and although i had a Bryton 50, this Garmin 810 is so more advanced. It is so user friendly that my wife absolute love it. Cape Union Mart knocked of a R1000.00 on each one I bought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks I see you ordered it but thought I will tell you how much I like mine anyway.... Love it, and yes you can load "courses" from other people and the easiest way to do it is to log onto connect.garmin.com and go to courses and "send course to device" You can also create a course/route and even load SA maps that you can get from DC Rainmaker for free to do Turn by Turn navigation on the roads like a GPS in a car.....fantastic device Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brogue Posted June 12, 2014 Share http://www.autostyle.co.za/ R6000 That's a loss leader, for sure. Their other prices match or exceed EASYBIKE by some margin. Edited June 12, 2014 by Brogue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
