I'm considering making the switch from Garmin to Wahoo as well ...
I crashed this week and the impact smashed the screen of my Edge 1000. Talked to Garmin and they'll do a me replacement unit for £72, but it'll take 2 weeks to come. Before the Edge 1000 I had an Edge 810 and hated it (constant crashes during navigation on long rides). I complained very loudly and they upgraded me to an Edge 1000 for free. I like the maps on the Edge 1000 and it's never crashed on me, but I don't think Garmins are at all user friendly, so I'm considering a switch now it seems other companies are making decent GPS units. I'm thinking of getting the replacement 1000 for £72 and then putting it up for sale on eBay. That should hopefully fund most of the price of an ELEMNT bolt.
Can anyone confirm the ELEMNT Bolt will work with my existing Garmin mounts and speed/cadence sensors? One of my bikes is a Canyon with an H11 aero cockpit and an integrated Garmin mount, so I wouldn't be able to use one of ELEMNT's own mounts on that bike.
In terms of navigation, at the moment I tend to create routes on Strava (I like using heatmaps etc), export to GPX, and then add to my Garmin. I do want to have turn by turn navigation, so it sounds like I'd need to switch to building my routes on ridewithgps? Is there no way to export from Strava and then import to ridewithgps for existing routes I have?
