I'm using the Edge Explore... No idea what map system it has but it definitely came with searchable UK addresses.
According to Garmin the Edge Explore "Includes preloaded Garmin Cycle Map with turn-by-turn navigation"

Correctly formatted latitude and longitude coordinates are the most direct way of searching for a specific location with the unit (not all GPS coordinate formats are accepted).

It beeps 200m before each turn (I think even in battery save mode, but not sure).
Although sometimes it gets confused about what is a turning and what isn't, so I tend to keep the display on anyway.
It would be ace if someone collaborated with Google Maps to make a cycling-specific head unit. I guess that's just a phone though, isn't it?!
