Thanks for the offer (and thanks for everyone's opinions), but I'm trying to get away from a traditional sat-nav.
When I started riding, I didn't have a sat-nav, and just memorised routes in advance and had a rough map in my head. Since relying on sat-navs more (in car and on bike) I have found I don't have nearly as good internal map - if you don't need to know where you are, you won't bother. There are villages just a few miles from where I live which I probably couldn't place now.
When I go out without sat-nav on, it's definitely more enjoyable, but if I'm going somewhere I don't know I'll have to stop and check the map after a while.
With the Beeline, it has a compass mode where it just shows the direction and distance to the destination, leaving the route up to you. I'm hoping it'll bring back some of the enjoyment of exploration while giving some confidence that I'm going roughly the right way.
I guess the other option would be to try to disconnect completely and see if my mind's still up to the job.
