    Get the 510 and don't use the data! :)

    I use it on phone but keep it wrapped up in zip lok bag in saddle bag.
    The battery is not great when using it for directions

    Ah ok. I have the Garmin 510. I used to use a Cateye for keeping an eye on essentials and Strava for more detailed info I could look at after the spin. I can't remember if the Cateye had a maps facility.

    If you want maps and directions, sounds like the Edge Touring is what you're after. Basically a cheaper version of the 800 with all the sports specific stuff removed.
