Thanks all - some interesting options.
Still can't believe no one's just made a sat-nav for bikes without fucking around with performance stats or compulsory scenic routes. I shall just have to invent one myself!Phone shop, here I come (if I can find it on my huge paper map, etc etc)

The etrex series are probably the closest to what you need. Something like the etrex 20 which is not to bad at on device routing as it allows multiple via points which tends to ensure it follows the type of roads you want unlike the edge series which only allow you to choose the end point and routes you according to its inbuilt algorithm.

I'm in the same situation, with a dumb phone. I have an eTrex 20. For less than £100 (ebay) it's brilliant. I use plotaroute.com to plan things in advance, and one of the TalkyToaster maps for all of UK in great detail. Never use any performance stat wankery

Garmin etrex (more designed for hiking but useful for anything) will let you follow pre-planned routes and navigate to places ad-hoc but it's not as nice as Edge models for use while cycling.
