Just got an 800 myself - agree with the pants documentation - unbelievably cr@p really. For pre-planning routes, don't you just load a GPX/TCX into the NewFiles folder on the Garmin - it then seems to convert it automatically and they're listed in your courses folder on the unit itself. Got mine with OS maps but will be loading OSM road maps from talkytoaster - apparently routable.
I was all up for sending it back after it took 20mins to find satellites first time (user error). But have to say, first ride out with turn-by-turn navigation was f$$king ace - great not to have stop every 5mins to check out 10 pages of printed maps on a new ride.
