I could get out my county road map and compass and use my watch to achieve what I want, but that would involve stopping and coordinating my route with the map. I'd rather just ride, enjoy the scenery, and let the GPS do the work.
I use RWGPS for the mapping. Then I transfer that to a temporary location, until I have memorized the route. I didn't(and still don't) want the mapping feature.
