A világ legnagyobb GPS gyártója bejelentette, hogy kiad egy olyan Edge modellt, mely már érintőképernyős. A Garmin Edge 800 GPS olyan váltás a gyártó palettáján, mint az Oregon széria a geocaching piacán.

Not "sort of working," not "flawed," just utterly broken and non-functional; we waited minutes upon minutes without a location lock in our follow-up testing. AG...
Bevallom, nagyon sokáig szinte egyáltalán nem használtam az iGO8 szoftvert. Jók a térképei, de amúgy nekem unalmas. Azonban az utóbbi időben mégis rászoktam a programban az ikonok cseréjére, illetve a szkinezésére is. Nanuka iGO8-ra, és primora készített ikonjai után, most a diMka szkint próbáltam ki. A telepítése annyira egyszerű, hogy az már fáj, és ráadásul [...]
