So let's say i sit in the evening and plan out my route on the computer or phone using whatever mapping software I will, upload, the wahoo would happily guide me through my route (paths etc) quite happily? I appreciate I must sound like a complete spanner but I'm new to this GPS game and am being spurred on by my wife and toddler so they can follow my route when I'm out!

In my experience; yes. If you are happy to follow a breadcrumb trail (ie arrows on the screen showing your route on the map), then the Wahoo works fine.
I bought one of the first gen Elemnts after getting tired of Garmin poor reliability, random crashes etc.
Battery life was around 12 hours when I first got it, now a few years down the line it's maybe 8-10 hours. If I am going to be out all day then I take a little battery pack and use this to recharge the wahoo at some point.

For riding pre made road routes, the wahoo is ideal. The base map itself is not great, but when you plan your ride in RWGPS or Strava, that doesn't really matter.
If you actually need to use the base map to navigate, then I wouldn't recommend the wahoo. Even though I've used one for the last 3 or 4 years and for my purposes find it much better than Garmin 520.
