Jack,
There is a pop up page for turns, and I assume this works with City Navigator maps (purchased separately), but I do not know for sure. I tried working with Garmin to unlock my maps for the Edge, to no avail. Sorry I can’t be of more help. You might want to ask at the MotionBased Edge forum, mentioned in this review under Other Resources.

I’m looking for something that works well on the ski slopes as well as bike trails. What are your thoughts on the 605? Am I totally off base here hoping to find something that would work when I Ski too?

Based on your review, I get the impression that the Garmin Edge 605 is not a good GPS for bicycle touring. Will it display street names as you approach an intersection?
