Has anybody got one of these?

Thinking we can use it for cycling and walking.

Yes and totally recommend it. Instruction manual is non existent so you have to get frustrated with it before you can use it properly. Get it!

They're great things but take a while to get the most out of, eg. setting it up to give you turn directions can take a bit of work IME. This site will help http://frank.kinlan.co.uk/garmin-edge-800/dummies-...

I've got one and quite like it. Maps work well, but not great for looking at. Being able to load up a route and get directions is useful and mostly works ok. Sometimes I pass the corner as it's not clear I needed to turn, then it says I'm off route. Worse when road density is higher.
