Loading routes isn't that much of a faff. And the battery life of the older devices is pretty good. If you're regularly doing rides > 4hr then a small GPS is the way forward.

Do you want airplane mode though, don't you want GPS on? Otherwise it's fine seeing the route but you might not know you're on it...

Thanks for contributions all. I think another phone may be the best idea for what I want and simplicity instead of messing about with USBs and loading routes on something physically.
I just worry whether a phone would have a good enough battery life to last long enough for a ride, airplane mode will be on of course but the screen would constantly be on and would have to be pretty bright if it's a sunny day.
I have a crappy iphone 6S and the battery is abysmal so maybe I just have low expectations of battery life. I guess a samsung android phone may be better?
