Would like to get a GET, but me thinks the issues are making it no better than my old and trusty 205.

Yes I use the open maps for biking, no probs there!
Tbh I generally do all of the route planning at home on the computer then just put it on the D20.
Have used the routing on the unit once or twice by dropping a pin and routing to it, that worked ok.
If the GET took aa batteries, I might be tempted.

They're not on the machine already but if you look at a website like ridewithgps for example, you'll find other people have already plotted/uploaded NCN routes/rides and you can easily download them to your device using a USB attachment.
Thanks.

You can change the auto zoom setting but I cant remember offhand how to do it and havent got my GET with me at the moment.

Press the 'tools' icon on the home screen, press 'trip pages', press 'map' and you'll see an 'auto zoom' on/off option.one thing i didnt get was the auto zoom in at junctions

I have to say, the whole set-up isn't very intuitive. i've been using the GET for two weeks - my first experience of satnav/GPS - and it's taking a while but gradually, slowly, it's revealing itself as a great bit of kit. There's been a few frustrating moments tho!

I am sorely tempted by one of these. One worry I have is the run time of 15 hours. Some of my days rides are up to 13 hours but I guess you stop it at cafes or other stops to save power?
As the battery gets older I wonder if it will still last a full day.

Its set to on.
did the route with RWGPS and saved as a TCX file and all is well as i get the bottom of the screen turn right, turn left etc, ive got the dist to go set as well but it does not zoom in.
It might be as ive done the route with a non garmin application.
