If this is so, why does the Garmin appear so popular with bikers? Are you guys mainly riding road routes using routes created by the GPS or are your 'off road' routes fairly small or undetailed?
Many Thanks,

Nope, they are not small and undetailed, but with few exceptions I don’t make the route before I go and I often delete waypoints after I have been there.
On my GPS I seldom use waypoints when I make routes (even if there are a lot of via-points on the route). I only use waypoints if there are no roads on the map or if I use topo-maps.
I prefer Garmin 276C because it’s robust and pure navigation-aid but it’s expensive and I’m not sure if that’s the unit you are looking for.
