Experiences with Garmin Monterra routing?
I am considering the Garmin Monterra for a future purchase, but it is much dearer, bigger, and heavier than the Edge Touring Plus, so I wonder if any of you have experience with it and how (well) it does routing for when on a bike?
As you can see from the pictures, you can choose "Cycling", "Tour Cycling" and "Mountain Biking" and at least under the "Automobile driving" there is a few things you can choose to avoid. I'm thinking that some of those will change depending on the "activity" you choose.
So, Have you tried the Monterra (for bike touring), and how do you find it?

All I hear is the wind howling outside. Must be that no-one has tried one. I am interested in the answer as well.

Yeah, it seems we might have to wait or at perhaps buy it and see for ourselves. I'm not likely to do the latter at present, though.
