You'll be fine. But the garmin can navigate you down some shitty 'roads'. So you need comman sense. I'd plan ahead tbh so I can go through nice places and not the places the garmin deams best. Even if you don't make routes, have a good look at a map before and work out a rough route idea an write down some points to head to and use the garmin as an aid and not the sole tool.

Google maps on iPhone does an infinitely better job of routing for bikes than the g800.
In the past we've used the iPhone to plan the next days riding and written the directions on brevet cards rather than use Garmin's routes.

Cycling from Paris to Biarritz via massif central next week. Hurray! I'll be navigating with garmin 800 - reckon I'll be okay without routes? Planning to just drop a pin and follow.
Any tips for cycling south out of Paris?
