Is?
Planning a bit of touring, and just want something I can upload a file too, and follow...
I think they pretty much all do this. Do you have any other specific requirements? e.g. - I like something that uses AA batteries because I can recharge them or buy as I go. I also prefer a touch-screen to buttons and a larger screen. For those reasons, I opted for an Oregon 600.
Good points Colin, batteries, and ease of use... And a decent size screen...
Lots of audaxers swear by the garmin etrex ....

Oregon then 😆 I did use a Dakota much prefer the larger screen of the Oregon.
Although not marketed at the cycling user per se, it will also record HR, Cadence and all that stuff.
The garmin edge 200 is basic but utterly bomb proof. You'd probably prefer something with more functionality but honestly, for the simplicity of uploading a route into it and then following it on a little screen, can't be beat.
It does a little angry beep when you go off course and then a happy little chirp when you're back on it. All it shoes is the route though, no map, no graphics.
I love mine, I've used it for each of the 100 climbs I've done, trust it totally.
