Thanks. I don't own a smart watch, so I am looking for a computer that does it for me.
Sounds like my options are Wahoo Elemnt Bolt, Garmin Edge 520 Plus or Explore, Lezyne Super Pro or Mega XL, or Bryton 450. This assumes I also want a legit map and not just bread crumb, which I still may not need. All of those are above my target price, unfortunately, but I can be patient and wait for a deal (Cyber Monday isn't too far around the corner).
I do notice with some of them, like the Bolt, they only talk about pulling a route from RideWithGPS. Are there other ways to input a route? I think Lezyne's RootGPS allows you to custom create a route in their own software, are they all like that? Or are some easier than others? I don't intend to pay for RideWithGPS, so I need to ability to create and input a route that doesn't have an additional pay wall.
Edit: Looks like RideWithGPS on the web allows you to create and export for free. It's just the mobile app that has the pay wall.
