If you are using a GPS, you really want one with maps.
And, you really want to keep an eye on the map for reliable navigation.
With the mapping Garmins, you can see the track fairly easily (
usually). Having the map gives useful context to the track and, if you go off-course, the map makes it fairly easy to get back on.
The mapping Garmins provide the off-course warnings and the "course point" (the pop-up notifications) that the 510 has. But they also have fancier "turn guidance" which is less "glitchy".
