[Closed] PSA Garmin 810 for £140 @ Aldi

Worth an upgrade from an 800?

Worth an upgrade from a 500?

DC Rainmaker'so website is your friend in these questions.
I think the 810 give you connectivity via Bluetooth/wifi over the 800 but not much else. This means you can livetrack and routes get uploaded automatically to strada or garmins website.
More of an upgrade from the 500 as it gives proper mapping,useful if you don't plan routes and just play it by ear

I thought i got a bargain when they were 179.99 very good device, big upgrade from my 705. Oh well, c'est la vie,

Can you put made up routes onto it?

Yes you can. The 810 is a great bit of kit. That seems a real bargain IMHO.

Popped down to the local Sheffield store for one of these but no luck. Lady on the telephone also said there were non in the area unfortunately. Anybody know of any stores with stock? It'd be very useful for the maps!

Daft Q, as I know very little about cycle Garmins - are these any good for off-road routes?

Yes, they're great.

Is it easy to transfer the unit between different bikes (mtb, good road bike, winter road bike)?

Is it easy to transfer the unit between different bikes (mtb, good road bike, winter road bike)?

Very, but you may need to buy extra mounts for the MTBs.

just picked one up for 160 notes in Edinburgh (was priced at 180 but went through the till at 160) not sure if I got a bargain or have been had!

There were a few left.

Or you could buy my now surplus 800 going cheap....(although the ANT + function doesn't workn on it!)

Has anyone seen any near Nottingham?

tp biker, how much?

There are at least 5 Aldis that I can access, if anyone really needs one then email me. I've been keeping an eye out for them thinking they would come down in price and I'm sure at least 3 of those stores still have them in stock. My charge will be 4 cans of finest Stella Artois. Email in profile.

tpbiker: which Edinburgh store?

the one opposite the corn exchange!

likewise...if anyone desperate i could pop along road and pick one up for someone

I called the helpline..the looked to see which ed dstore had them in stock.

black mountain, make me an offer!

looks like i will be phoning the customer service line in the morning to see if there are any locally for 140 as well.

tpbiker, thanks - I didn't know they could search local stores, I'm hopefully getting one sent along from Tranent 🙂

[It's a shame really, as I went last week to look, but they didn't offer to search for me and I came away with another edge 200]

I know this might be looking a gift horse in the mouth but do these come with the sensors for speed, cadence etc ?

nope its the basic unit, mounts and charger only. In proper garmin box however, not the refurbed options available from some other places.

Doubt the'll send one, but if you can't make it along then let me know, its 5 min from my house. Happy to pick one up for you if you like. They had a few left apparently, plus one in the display cabinet. I was tempted to buy a few as I know folks on here would have wanted them (would of passed them on at postage, rather than try to make cash off them, but at 180 it didn't seem a risk woth taking)

It said 180, but it went through as 160 quid on till. Didn't challenge them that some dude off singletrack claimed it was £140, although I may if it can be proven they went for this price.

Some guy has one on sale on classifieds, brand new for £165 btw..

you can buy the sensors separately for not too much money. OS maps are worth it too if you want to use for real off road routes navigation.

Free maps are fine for road use. I think I downloaded mine from talky toaster or something like that... it was a few years ago.

If the pricing is like the edge 25, the drop in price seems to be regional and takes a while to get to everywhere and they never change the price on the label.

139 down this way. an unexpected xmas pressie for me then.

Where's that Gav?

open maps for the garmin 810 are fine, and free. I've used them in the UK, Ireland & France.

DC rainmaker has a guide on adding them.

Just got a message from Aldi on twitter saying that they'll be available in February for £89.99, which seems a bit too good to be true.

Looks like the lowest price in the South Yorkshire stores are £159.
Anyone seen them lower

I asked Aldi if it is definitely the Garmin Edge 810 that will be £89.99 in February, they said 'yes we can confirm that it is the sat nav Garmin 58'.

Just been into two stores in manchester, both have them in stock but both 179.99

Tp biker, have you got an email adress I can message you on? Alternatively my email is my username @Gmail.com

Cheers.

timpayne1976@hotmail.com

lowey, is that the display price or the till price. As above mine was at 179 on display but rang through till at 160.

Display price mate.

Even so... still a bargin.

ask them to scan it. should be cheaper

I just picked up one for £125.99! That was the pukka, marked up price as well reduced from £179.99, so not ex-display. At that I price was thinking of buying 2-3 for friends but it was the last in store.

Thanks for the PSA 😀

Just been down to the Parkgate store in Rotherham to pick one up. I'm told by customer services that this is the only store in South Yorkshire that has any left. The store managers price was £159 and no movement on that. I asked why they were at a bigger discount down south and was told that each store manager can set his price within the parameters. Asked if they would match the price but no luck.

For those in the area there were two left at the store at 2 o'clock

seems a total lottery in pricing! bit like planet x!

126 quid is phenomenal value. cheapest i can find online is 280

Can you get a top cap mount to fasten them to that doesn't stick it out in front of the bike

the attachments that come with it fit on bars or stem if yo arent running one to short

think you can reverse an out front mount as well

You can get a top cap mount, can't remember where though.

EDIT: http://www.wiggle.co.uk/k-edge-adjustable-stem-mount-for-garmin-edge-forerunner/

I use the standard mount on the stem or the SRAM out front reversed so that it is over the stem. You can get a short MTB version of that mount as well if you have a shorter stem.

only got a 35mm stem so would like it to mount direct instead of the top cap, found these on ebay but from china

or would this work

£125 in Aldi Sittingbourne, they have 3 left, no one buying as they have no price showing in the display cabinet, I had to asked and at that price I wish I'd bought all 4.

i feel cheated now, i paid 139.99 earlier today.

but on the upside, i did discover that aldi stolen is better than lidls.

incidently, where is best to get the cadence and speed stuff?

Aldi by me has 4 in stock but are £179.99 still and asked her to scan it and yes. . Still £179.99 🙁 on way to another store now.

called Aldi but unfortunately the nearest one to me with them in stock is an hour away in Swadlincote and was reduced to £160 not £140.

What number did you ring? Save me driving round

The number is on the Aldi website. They also phoned the store for me to confirm the Managers price and to ensure that they had one in stock

got my local store to check, £140 (the sign still said £160) I still bought it as it's still a great price

No idea what they're like but have seen these stem mounts

Looks good so will book mark it. Ive ordered the ebay one from China and awaiting delivery. Will see how it works once it comes.

I managed to find one! Thought they had sold out.

Quick question. It has come with
- only one mount
- no SD card and no maps
- an "Amazon" branded USB charger
- a history of someone else's rides.

Is this normal??

not really 😆

No, you usually pay extra for that kind of stuff.

Anyone seen any in store near hemel?

How much better is this than my 705? Battery life is crap now..

Battery replacement on a 705 is pretty easy

There was still 3 in the Aldi Trentham, S-o-T, yesterday. & yes the Aldi stollen is very nice. Try it with ice-cream all mashed up and then a little single cream on top 😉 /glutton mode

Mine was down to 125. Not sure if that's because it was a customer return though.

£129 in Fleetwood....

I picked one up for £99.99 today at Manvers (between Rotherham and Barnsley). There was one left but don't fly down there to get it as I think one of my club mates went down shortly after me to grab it.

There's 2 mounts in the box too... Chuffed!

Picked one up for £99 this morning too. My 800 still works fine though so might keep it as a spare

Gutted! Just been around all 5 of my local stores, last one had them in stock but still showing at £180, they suggested going back in a week or so as they don't have them on display so you wouldn't know they had them if you didn't ask

I spent a bit of time fiddling with MapSetToolKit, CGPSMapper, Gmap and Garmin BaseCamp and managed to get the European Maps, Open MTB Maps and OS Maps on a 16gb card.

Turns out you have to rename the .img files if you want lots of maps on an SD card unlike my the Touring Plus.

Santa got one for my Christmas present from the Morecambe store.

Gastro - was that the aldi by morrisons. I have just been and none in the cabinet.

The top cap mounts I ordered on ebay 5 days ago have arrived today. For £12.99 posted they are very well put together, alloy outer with a plastic inner mount

Poolman sorry for the slow response. It was the Aldi by Morrisons. I think it was the last one. Have you tried calling the customer service number to ask which stores still have them. When Mrs Gastro called she was told they still had some at other stores within 15-20 miles.

Thanks gastro, will do

Ive just had a boxed 810 for 119.99 in Bangor!

Well done 120 is a good deal. I phoned customer services and some were showing as avail but they kindly phoned up and the shops and they had all gone. Ho hum no garmin present for me then..

Just got one home - I thought, amazing luck. Now after switching it on it clearly has been on two post Christmas rides (very local) and now been returned. So not actually a new item, but a returned one.

What should I do? Looks perfect in everyway. I presume they did not come with microSD cards.

Register it with Garmin Connect - if it signs up to you with no issues don't worry about it!

Thanks smurfly, Connected and registered on Garmin Connect and Maps all downloaded and working from previous threads advice. Super bit of kit. I guess the Christmas gift recipient preferred the cash. Previous owner has 60lbs on me, 3 inches and 10 years younger. I hope he does not want it back 🙂
