Afternoon all

Does anyone know if you can get a satnav that you could program with a route for it to follow?
I'm thinking like one of the garmin edge bike ones,that you can do a route on ridewithgps and then upload it to satnav.
Anything like that about?

Does it have to be a satnav, why not a Garmin gps?

Using Viewranger on a smartphone lets you upload tracks from other sources. Viewranger is the only navigation app I know of that runs on all the main OS, iOS/Android/WinMob.

If you have an android device, osmand allows you to do that

Thanks all,I'm gonna have a play with that osmand and see how it goes.
Just to make it clear,this isn't for cycling but for driving. Specifically for towing my caravan, I want to plot a route on the laptop,avoiding country lanes etc,then upload to something to satnav for driving.
You can get so called truck/caravan satnavs,but reviews seem mixed at best.
