    Etrex has better battery life.

    There's lots of options for what you want, got any other requirements / a budget?

    You can do that with the eTrex and the cycling specific devices.

    You can design your own routes with www.ridewithgps.com or Garmin Connect. Uploading the Courses to a gps is easy.

    The best unit is the Garmin 1000. The screen is in a different class, but you can expect to pay £385 for one with maps and a full set of non magnetic sensors.
