GPS devices seems to go anywhere, from your smartphone to the bike trail, as Garmin's latest touchscreen enabled Edge 800 navigation system seems to prove.

Built on top of the existing Edge 500  and Edge 705 navigation units, the Edge 800 takes the most popular aspects of the previous units, adds a touchscreen, and recommends itself as the ultimate cycling navigation system available.

And this may well be the case as the Edge 800 can display an impressive amount on information on its 2.6 inch display and requires no calibration so just mount it in and you are set to go.

Garmin says that this is possible thanks to its HotFix technology that quickly acquires and maintains satellite reception, this device being also capable of tracking speed, distance, time, GPS position, elevation, calories burned, climb and descent.

All these informations can then be uploaded in the Garmin Connect free to join online community that can display metrics such as time, distance, speed, elevation and heart rate through charts and a variety of map representations, including street, satellite, topographic, and elevation maps.  

Add to that the 15 hours battery life that Garmin states for this navigation system and you got yourself a really impressive bit of kit, that will surely make all the other riders jealous.

Unfortunately, all this bike navigation Nirvana won't come cheaply as engadget states the Edge 800 will retail for $449 or $649 depending on the bundle included.
