Would the Garmin Edge 800 GPS-Enabled Cycling Computer work in South Korea? Or is this device strictly for North America? Thank you!

I have no personal experience with this but here is what it looks like to me. The Garmin 800 doesn't know where it is until you load maps in it. http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl/ shows routable maps of South Korea (again - no personal experience). So it should work. I downloaded and use the Open Streets Maps of North America so I think South Korea would be similar - just with a different map.

It should work anywhere in the world since it operates via satellites. Occasionally it won't work is when the clouds or atmosphere are less than optimal. My edge 800 is so full of bugs that I would never recommend buying the edge 800. I've heard great feedback from owners of the edge 500.

Captain, I believe that you can use it anywhere in the world outdoors to record the route where you have been and download to the Garmin Connect web site. Garmin Connect plots your route on a Google map, and Google has at least aerial maps of Korea. The only problem is that the Garmin web site does not sell any South Korea maps for installation in the device, which may or may not concern you if you do not want to use it as a navigation device. Maybe you can confirm my answers from Garmin Support at 1-800-800-1020 (number on their web site). I really like my Garmin 800.

Would need to check the Garmin website to see if they have maps of South Korea.

It will work anywhere, you just need to load maps for the local you intend to use it in.

...yes you should be able to use it in South Korea. I am currently using it in Nigeria

You can buy maps for just about any country. Garmin supports over 100. The basic one comes with US and Canada but you can specify Brazil when you order. You can also buy maps for other countries as you need it. I bought the unit with NA but later on added EU and Japan. You can decide which map to use by downloading it using the PC or MAC app. Hope this helps

RE: Rod: Can you answer this question about Garmin nuvi 3790T 4.3-Inch...? Roderick Ferguson 11:36 AM To: "Amazon Answers" &lt;answers@amazon.com&gt; Your best bet is to google Garmin and ask them. They might be able to download the Aussie stuff for you over the internet. These things are getting cheaper every day, so you might have to make your case with Garmin and have them send you a "sympathy" GPS at a super low price as an apology to their of global flexibility.

I would not use the Garmin's monitor feature. I use Polar's "F" series they are accurate and dependable. I have been using thgem since late 1999 and have founbd them to be the best on the market.

I've used in USA, Ireland & Italy with no problems. I have not used in Asia yet, but I cannot see there being a problem as it's linked to Google Maps (on your computer) which has no boundaries. Unless of course there are restrictions with access to Google Maps in those areas.

I don't know. Garmin has excellent customer service. I'll bet they can answer you. Or try GPSCity.com. You can call them, too.

Don't know, mine was defective so I returned and bought a Garmin, which is much better!

None of the bicycle Garmins call out turns, however it does beep to alert you to upcoming turns and then displays the turn-by-turn directions. Be aware that when you buy this,or any other Edge series Garmins that, in addition to the device, you will need to buy or upload maps for your particular region (i.e. Western U.S., Eastern U.S., etc.). These are best purchased or downloaded from RideWithGPS.com rather than Garmin. Although I traded my Touring Plus in for the 810 model, I've found this GPS indispensable and wouldn't tour without one now. I used it recently in Switzerland after uploading the maps for that region and never got lost as long as I was paying attention to it.

The Garmin Edge 200, 500, and 800 (and many other Garmin products, for that matter) share the same rear mounting fixture. That fixture is what nestles into any mount- be it a bar fly, handlebar mount, or wrist band. You'll simply set your Edge 200 on any of the included mounts- and twist! It'll lock right in! Easy-peasy!

sorry, can't help you there. I have only used this GPS in the US. You will probably have to do some research with Mio directly to answer your question.

The device will work in Australia (or anywhere else in the world, for that matter), but it comes with maps for North America. Australia/New Zealand city/highway maps are $189AUD (see https://buy.garmin.com/en-AU/AU/maps/on-the-road-maps/city-navigator-nt/city-navigator-sup-sup-australia-new-zealand-nt/prod116482.html). Since this device has been discontinued, you probably can't get free map updates (and I'm not sure they're available outside North America, anyway).

I can verify that it works with MapMyFitness on the Samsung Galaxy S3. Other users in the answers say it works with i-gotU Sports, IpBike App, Wahoo Fitness (BETA) and IpSensorMan (BETA). I can also confirm that it currently does not work with Endomondo or Strava for Android. (You may find claims that Endomondo works, but it only works on the iPhone.)

The Amazon page for this device now says "optimized for Europe and Asia. I have not had an opportunity to try mine "south of the border," so cannot assure you it will work, but I've found it works well in North America. (Not that that is any help to you!)

My experience, two years ago (and things may have changed) is that Garmin's maps, at least for Spain and France, are so inaccurate as to be a hazard. At least at that time their satellite system worked perfectly for North America and miserably for Europe. A TomTom, which I found problematic in the US, works wonderfully in Europe. My advice, ask before using. Unless things have changed, the Garmin will steer you wrong at least 50 percent of the time. It is annoying and even dangerous. Ask a taxi driver. I have never found one in Spain who uses Garmin, and there must be a reason for that.
