Capable on the bike. Loved the touch screen.
Poor hook-up to computers. Not all data transfered. Crashed Google Earth on one of my computers and cannot get it to run at all anymore. We have in house IT/GPS support at work and they recommended waiting for second edition until bugs are worked out.
Garmin support so so. MEC support great but just directed me to Garmin. I returned unit to MEC for full refund. Garmin has the market right now but better stuff should be around before long for about half the money.

Great to use on bike.
Would not hook up to computer without Garmin support. Crashed my Google Earth and Google Earth is now dead on my computer after spending a week trying to get it working.
Not all fields would download to my computer. Garmin is suppose to have a fix soon. Tried two computers not much joy.
I took the 800 back for a full refund. Great support from MEC not so much so from Garmin. I can forward the support letters from Garmin if anyone wants them.

Touch screen makes checking data while you are riding very easy. I bought the Topo maps and is very accurate and I like knowing exactly where I am at. Ability to adjust all the screens to what data YOU want to see. Heart Rate Monitor easy to link up.
Garmin Manual!! Doesn't go through everything. SO things you just have to tap screen and see what happens.
I was looking at the Edge 705 and saw this was coming out. The touch screen is great and works like a cell phone even with gloves! I like the way you can attach the cradle to bars and lock it in while riding. I also like the micro sd card holder. I can go from my topo maps for mountain biking to city street for a road ride. It is smaller than my cell phone and was easy to get a quick glance at anything I wanted to check out. Finally a computer you can use and a map. Not just data on a tiny screen that you have to stop to look at it!
