I'm after a little advice. I normally use Waze on my phone for navigation, which works perfectly for me to get places quickly. However, I have a day off to visit my mother this week, and if it's not raining I'd like to find an interesting route back - rather than 30 minutes round the M25, which is the alternative.

I tried the "Scenic" app, which has a "curvy" option for routeing. On the surface, it looks good, but when I look at the detail, most of the route is on rural single-track roads, which is a bit more "interesting" than I had in mind.

Does anyone have any recommendations for good routeing software with more switches than just the standard avoid motorways/curvy? Is it worth splashing out for a Garmin device?

Thanks!
