You can purchase mapsets from Garmin that will do turn-by-turn routing - I have one for my GPS60. However, route calculation is VERY slow, you don't get audible prompts, and the screen is so small and low-res that it's really difficult to get a sense of the roads around you, which I find handy when I need to detour.

I find that a smartphone with nav software ( I use an iphone ) is far more useful on the bike than the 60.
