Garmin question

noste500

Help please peeps , bit confused with all the models ..
Which of the garmin models allow you to plot a route into them ( via whatever method ) and then follow the instructions on screen?
Is this what a breadcrumb trail is referred to ?

Would like to see what the cost for the units are that can do this .

Thanks in advance

Or a slightly more friendly reply, Edge touring or better assuming you want a map.

Still cannot get my head round the original question chaps ,
Maybe I'm just having a brain dead moment .

I cannot see the spec that does what I posted above .

Is the below ( from garmin speak ) what I am after ,?

The Edge Touring and the Touring Plus are the first price point where you get base maps as well as the ability to add maps and preloaded Garmin cycle maps. The mapping functions should allow the more adventurous amongst you to take the route less travelled without the fear of getting lost along the way.

Thanks for bearing with me . I just want to plot a route from home ( or program one and transfers it to the unit ) and then get it to tell where to go turn by turn .
Thanks in advance

Garmin edge touring, touring plus, and anything from the garmin 800 upwards (in numbers) 810, 1000 etc. These will all allow you to plot a route on garmin website/strava or any other website you use - send it to your device and follow like a sat nav. The unit must have either a memory card with maps preloaded or have the maps loaded onto the device already.
A bread crumb trail is what older gamins for example the 500 could use - you plot a route and it will show you dots of where to go but it won't how you the map. If you want a garmin to follow routes and show you where you our etc buy either the touring garmin or the garmin 800, 810 1000 etc. I use the 1000 and love it. You can tell the garmin 1000 you want to travel 'x' amount of miles/kms and it will show you different suggested routes for you to follow from your current location.

Breadcrumb - the 200 and 500 (and possibly 25, I dont know) allow you to follow a line of the route on a blank screen, purely based on GPS co-ordinates and with no maps. They also beep if off course.

Map view breadcrumb - the 520 shows maps and superimposes the breadcrumb on them, so that you can see it in context.

Turn by turn - the 800, 810 touring, touring plus and 1000 show maps, show the breadcrumb on them but also can be set to give you instructions, like car sat nav but on screen with beep alerts rather than voice. They also, in theory, allow you to create a route on the device - dont be fooled though because I dont think this works at all well on any of them.
