Didn't @DarrenFranks switch to one just before TCR when his Garmin started playing up (aka: acting like a Garmin)?

That was the kind of thing I wanted to know. My google skills seem to be failing me at the moment & most of the reviews online aren't as oriented towards whether it crashes on long routes, powers down when it loses external power, makes it near impossible to load courses from a phone, etc, etc.
All special Garmin features I've grown a bit tired of... -
Yes, I was on my fourth different 810 in 18 months. As soon as Wahoo added TBT to the ELEMNT I made the jump. It has its weaknesses but it has proved reliable. For me that's a prerequisite and that's something the Garmin was atrocious at. The software development on the ELEMNT is also moving forwards instead Garmin's approach of fixing one issue by introducing two different ones.
10,000km of riding later and the ELEMNT has inspired confidence. Happy to recommend them and keen to support them in creating a strong competition. Hopefully this will force Garmin to raise their game.

Anyone got experience of using a Wahoo Elemnt for longer audax type rides? Particularly turn by turn navigation. My patience with Garmins has worn rather thin and I'm seriously tempted to try something else.
