Fair enough.
At the moment if you upload a GPX to a Garmin, you need to save it as a track, then overlay it on your map. It doesn't show direction, and whilst you can change the colour of the line, you can't change the thickness. It's nigh on impossible to use a pre-planned, recorded, or shared GPX as a route because the maximum waypoints a Garmin will allow for is 20. It also gets pretty tricky if your track overlaps itself at any point, because you can't tell which part you're on, or which direction the lines are going. This has been my experience on the trails.
Having said that, it's still great to have a dedicated, rugged, waterproof unit that works well with gloves, and will get you to and from on the roads. When I was just using the Zumo, it worked really well with
Basecamp, when reviewing recent rides, stitching segments together, and altering them. Another advantage of the 590 is portrait mode, which I find much easier to follow, since you can see further ahead.
