Hmm... The 800 sounds interesting. What I really want, though, is something like the 700-series (big touch screen), but waterproof and with better battery life. That's the sort of unit I want to carry on the street, rather than the GPSMAP 60CSx or Vista HCx. I want something really easy to use and easy to read. I'd use it on my bicycle too.
Oh, and another feature all these things really need is... The POI database from the mapping companies should be regularly updatable online -- the same way Symantec et al update their virus signature databases. Restaurants, gas stations, banks -- they're changing all the time. A map update every year or two is not enough. In fact, these updates should really happen directly, and wirelessly.
