Oh hey the Garmin Explore 2 is one to look at if you don’t plan on a power meter. You asked for mainly navigation. I have not compared it but it lacks power and maybe a few other options. Performance Bike has it for $280. The discounts for the 1040 o don’t see today.
If you want to spend time analyzing take a look at the Hammered Karoo 2.
