Me too.
You can load OSM on your Garmin, though, I think it gives you restaurants and all the other POI this guy comes with.

I don't know that I'd call touring cyclists casual, exactly. I know a guy who rode from Montana to the Pacific Ocean, I think he's a bit more serious than the "training cyclists" who try to win downhill segments on starva.
Route finding can be pretty tricky in places you've never been to. Do you really want to go down that hill, and descend 1,000 feet? If it's the wrong way, that's a lot of altitude you're going to give up and then come back up.
