Garmin 800 base maps - OK for road cycling?

What are riders experiences with using the base maps that come as standard with the Garmin 800? I'd be using it for mostly road cycling, but minor roads and tracks make up most of a day out where I am.
I can't find pictures of what the base maps look like - are there any OS map type features on them at all?

Thanks.

Google maps for Android, now with directions inc elevation

Having on previous touring holidays used the excellent GPS Visualizer website to figure out the elevation of proposed routes, I just found this - the latest Google Maps for Android has elevation data for directions, including bike route planning - NICE.
