I've also used a Planet Bike Protege 9.0 Wireless and a Cateye Strada wireless over the years, and they both worked well for a one-bike setup.
I'm a data junkie, use basic wireless Cateye computers and have tracked rides with my iPhone and Endomondo. Then discovered the Garmin swim watch, thus Garmin Connect, then got a Garmin 810, so am now a slave to the GPS.
In theory, the 810 does everything I need as it can use pre-made courses and do turn-by-turn. And it does this very well, as well as tracking rides and has a great customizable display system. Painless uploads and downloads as well.
Trouble is its a really flaky unit and has crashed 3 times in 16 rides. Once more and it's getting returned.
