Garmin Edge Touring

I’m not a very wired sort of a chap, but would these be suitable for mtb routes or would something else be more appropriate.
Would use mostly uk and holidays europe.

I’ve been toying with getting one but, after some googling of reviews, it seems some software issues are leaving some with frozen screens. I’ve heard of this before on the 810, which the touring basically is, without the bells and whistles.

I’ve used mine for pre-set courses mapped using Ride with GPS as well as a get me home device after going where the flow took me on a ride in unfamiliar areas. Was particularly good for this as I was able to move between roads and footpaths and then when I fancied heading home just hit the ‘navigate to start’ option and let the Touring ‘Show me the way to go home….’

Good review of the route planner function here:
