I've faced this problem years ago. Ended up using a phone instead of a bike computer.
I have a Forerunner 910 that requires physical connection to upload courses. I "think" that it would be possible to use an OTG USB adapter and appropriate software to upload courses, but never bothered as I could access a computer often enough.
I "think" that Bluetooth or wifi enabled Garmin devices can get courses via Garmin's Connect app. You'd generate a gpx file from whatever routing app on your phone, import into Connect and sync with your device.
For platform, I use RidewithGPS.com, premium account. I have hundreds of routes saved there. I move the route(s) to my Garmin 800, purchased in '10. The Garmin Edge 830 is the newest in that line. On a long tour, I break the route down to sections of under 400k. I usually pre-plan the whole tour, but sometimes things don't work out that way. Being able to create and upload new routes at a WiFi hotspot would be wonderful.
