I would like an appliance that would cook my dinner and also clean my house for me.
Seriously, though, if you're looking for something that will map out routes for cycling for you, I think you'd be better off considering a dedicated bike computer/GPS unit. Get a dedicated golf watch for your golf game. About the closest thing I could find was a Garmin Approach S62 watch, but I don't really know how useful it would be cycling (or golfing, for that matter.) Then again, it's the little windmill thing that always messed up my golf game. I could never time the windmill arms right to get the ball through the tunnel.

It's useful in golf for obtaining distance to the green. Everything else is relatively superfluous.

Oh, and it's "you're", and "suggestions" with one comma after help.

Must be a golfer. Those guys have a lot of anger to manage.

I suppose you ride your tricycle to the miniature golf windmill thingie or have you progressed to training wheels. That is how your response reads.

The Venu 2 + is the latest version of what I have, and it is the first (and maybe still only) Garmin watch to have an ECG, so you can bike, play golf, and track your afib, all on a single device with an AMOLED display.

What kind of phone do you have? How about an app like Hole 19 or Golfshot? Can be used with a smartwatch if you have one.
