It features an LCD screen with a resolution of 420 x 600 pixels to ensure a brighter display with exceptional detail. This colour touchscreen ensures excellent visibility in all conditions, whether in sunshine or rain, thanks to its IPX7 rating. The Garmin 850 also features voice guidance, with a voice to guide you during GPS navigation. All your GPS tracks will be as accurate as possible with a 5 Hz sampling rate, offering a high level of detail thanks to multi-band GPS.
Offering a battery life of up to 12 hours in the most demanding conditions and up to 36 hours in power-saving mode, this device provides advanced training and performance analysis features.

This Edge 850 Garmin also features a built-in weather widget via a smartphone and the Garmin Connect app, which you can use to choose the best routes to avoid the rain, for example.
