I have an etrex 30 and use it for hiking and cycling. Whilst not specifically a cycling gps it has ant+ therefore enabling things like heart rate monitors etc. to be used.

Only HRMs, cadence and the tempe sensors. It doesn't handle/record readings from an ANT power meter.
I want an AA battery powered Garmin that can display a map (with a track overlaid), don't care about routing, that will also record HR, cadence and power from ANT sensors.
Edge 705 with external battery packs with AA batteries is closest I have to that.

I was just watching some videos about how you load maps from basecamp. Would it be annoying to get all the maps on it for London-Edinburgh-London, or would a gpx go straight on?

I'm considering a cycle computer with the main purpose of navigation. LEL has prodded me into thinking about buying something, but it's something I've considered for a while.
My main interest is navigation, but riding with a cycle computer for the first time it is quite nice to know how you're doing in a heads up display.
I've got three things in mind:
Garmin edge tour
Garmin Etrex 30

I have a dynamo on my main bike, but I also like the idea of being able to use the unit on other bikes and with the etrex30, even for hiking and off road.
As the cheapest of the lot, and being able to navigate in all situations, I'm looking at an etrex30 as my first port of call. Can anyone suggest why this is a bad idea/what else I should consider.
