I am new to the Etrex 20x bandwagon but am solidly on it. To be clear, it does not tell me to turn left on Main Street in 80 feet (at least not the way I use it) , it displays a pink line superimposed on a map that shows me at the center, oriented forward in the direction I am riding, and I look down occasionally and see the line turning left up ahead and then look down once or twice to make sure this street up ahead is it, then I turn and look down to see what the pink line does next, e.g. immediately another turn or straight for long while. I recently rode two centuries through dense urban areas with lots of turns and I didn't need a cue sheet, just followed the yellow brick road to the end, no prob.
If your touring involves lots of spontaneity and excursions beyond prior planned route, then you may want real time navigation that tells you where to go.
