I've followed cuesheets by using the street names displayed by the 800 (sometimes, easier than figuring out where the street sign might be). I don't think the 520 displays street names.

Elmnt/Bolt don't do any routing. They just display the routing downloaded to them.

The "routing back" when going off-course very isn't useful on the 800. The 800 abandons the course and creates a new route to the end point, which is not something that people typically want to do (it isn't even what people expect it to do). It looks like the 1000 might reroute you back to the nearest point on the course (which is what people tend to expect).

I don't find the rerouting necessary. If go off course, I usually know about it fairly quickly and it's easy enough just to ride to the purple line.
