My Garmin Edge 1000 (some other models have this too) has ‘round trip routing’. Although I haven’t used this feature for some time it was particularly useful in France where I wasn’t familiar with the area. On my device I select a distance and Garmin offers 3 different routes, select one and ride. For me each ride was like a mini mystery tour, no worries of getting lost and taking me back to the holiday house each time.Hi, I'm wondering if these uber fan-dangled gadgets allow you to just tap a start position into them, and then it plans you a route from start position HOME and back? Do some offer this as a route planner? or do you have to plan your own route first then enter it into the device manually?
garmin edge explore i had a touring plus but with my experience i cant recommend them as mine worked fine but if you loaded a created course after you left home the route would get an error after after a few miles and show the course but would not give turn by turn routing .It did work better than normal gps ones in the way it calculated on the fly rerouting if you went of course rather than what most do which is just to take you back to whee you went off courseSome Garmin's do off the cuff routes. Choose a distance and they will come up with 3 different routes.
Check out DC Rainmaker's excellent website for everything GPS,

My touring plus has no problems following courses with turn by turn.
