    The only real advantage of the 800 is mapping and navigation. Do you need that?

    I've been asking the same question for a while now and decided yesterday to just go with the sensible option and order a 500!

    yea the 500 is a more sensible choice IMO if you just check out ur route b4 u leave. However ive gotten lost more than a few times on rides and can see where the 800 would have been handy. But its not an extra 250 quid handy.

    From my limited use of my 500 id say its a good buy and can see its use paying off already
