To add since I've had a few queries:
An unboxed second hand GB map as included above just went for £77 on eBay.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271257103997?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649Yes you can download open source maps but A) it's time consuming and fiddley B) you will struggle to find full ordnance survey quality mapping with contours, elevation, landmarks, cross country etc.
http://www.scarletfire.co.uk/2012/01/garmin-edge-800-why-you-shouldnt-bother-with-custom-osm-maps/Yes, I am considering separating but bear in mind what you might have to pay for a proper discoverer map if the free stuff doesn't work out for you.
Cheers!

For Sale: Garmin Edge 800 + All of GB 1:50 Mapping + Speed/Cadence sensor

**SOLD SOLD SOLD **
Thanks :)
Revising a previous listing.
Have since found out that the "Discoverer: All of Great Britain map 1:50" is average web-store price £170 and a fairly legit looking ebay BIN at £140. That's just the UK 1:50 map on memory card.
A bare bone Edge 800 such as the performance bundle Amazon sell for £265 only comes with the default, pre-loaded EU base maps, they only feature main roads and are useless for navigation, especially on a bike!
As far as I am aware, you can't buy the Edge 800 computer and full GB map for less than £310 bundled together as the "trail bundle". Then add on another £40 for the speed sensor. (Correct me if I'm wrong).
If you buy a bare bone unit then you'll have to fork out at least £140 for the mapping if you decide you need it. If you're not using the Edge 800 navigation features then you may as well get a cheaper, non-GPS computer for just performance data monitoring.
So, with these points in mind, I'd be happy to sell:
For £275
Happy to post for cost in the UK/EU or collect from Tower Bridge or Kentish Town.
PM if interested and thanks for looking!
