Pretty much the same functionality, the only difference will be in the routing which can sometimes be a bit hit-and-miss.

Track recording - no problem. Track uploading - no problem. I just cycled a 170 mile coast-to-coast trip across England this last weekend, recorded the track log for the entire way and had a pre-prepared track log I followed when the road signs weren't as informative as they might have been.

Swing by http://garmin.openstreetmap.nl and download some maps for your area.
