Garmin Edge 820 review I had access to this bike computer for two weeks. My experience with the Garmin Edge 820 is that this is a great bike computer for both navigation and measuring your cycling performance. Herewith the plus and minus points I experienced when using the Garmin Edge 820: + Compact and lightweight + Easy to read screen + Strong cycling navigation + Many functions to measure your bike ride + Link with Strava - If you go "off-track" navigation is difficult - In wet weather conditions the touch screen responds less well
