Alright.
I love my Garmin.
The key to it, is to make your own routes and to spend the time being diligent about putting in the bare minimum of turn by turn waypoints, turning off all recalculation or virtual partners, and only leaving on the "off-route" alarm.
In that mode... it wasn't an annoyance at all on the Dunwich ride. Barely knew it was on, and it only told me about the stuff I needed to know.
And this is the day that I stop downloading random routes from the internet and start making them all myself.
