Why not just use your phone and OSMand? Free, except for a mount.
Or navigate of your watch? Strap it to bars.
If it really is a few times, seems wasted money.

Thanks for the honest advice - think I was interested in "new shiny thing" and was trying to talk myself into it!
Sadly my watch is a Forerunner 45 so it seems like routing with that isn't possible. Event I'm riding this weekend is a fairly simple course made up of loops - reading up on the route and maybe some notes on the stem should do the trick.

I'm looking to step out of the comparative darkness of Cateye computers and buy a GPS. At present I'm looking at Wahoo Roam V1 (£180) or a Garmin 530 (£220). I would only need routing a few times a year for events away from home, most of my rides tend to be on known loops. Any reason to opt for Garmin over Wahoo? Or wasting cash given I can see basic stats on a Cateye and use my Garmin watch to record and save to Connect/Strava?
