It’s useless for creating a
It’s useless for creating a route on the fly. The touring lacks the direct routing option that the 800 has, which means routes will avoid A roads at all costs. It won’t let a route go over an A road at a cross roads or roundabout, resulting in some hilariously torturously long journeys. Apparently this is what touring cyclists want.
However, it has been brilliant for following routes created on the RideWithGPS website and exported as a TCX file. Turn by turn directions with junction map popping up with a beep, and 10 hours plus battery life. I also use a lightning to micro SD card adapter to transfer routes to/from my iPhone.

I really like Pocket Earth for route planning on mobile. It is quick and easy to add waypoints and drag them around. Also, maps are downloadable, so re-routing mid ride in a weak signal area is no problem. Has turn by turn directions.
But it doesn’t do elevation. I use RideWithGPS for that, but need to use website which is a bit tricky on the phone.
