I often create routes in the default free mode and get turn by tun navigation on my Garmin 520. It beeps 100 or so meters before each turn. I pay when I want to import rides from Strava and make adjustments.
One of the attractive features for route planning is the RWGPS maps are based on google so you can use street view which is very helpful in scouting new areas. Strava stopped using google maps a few years ago.
