Yes, I can see the zooming out to investigate places ahead is important - In fact on a smaller scale, thinking about my ride to Bristol on Saturday night, this is something I had to pull out my phone for when looking to see if I was getting to anywhere big enough to have an open garage. And that is something Garmins can actually do quite easily.
I guess it's because Wahoo store maps in a totally different & simpler way.
Handlebar phone mount and Wahoo alongside? Best of both worlds?
But realistically given your past achievements, sticking with a Garmin probably best option. What's made you consider not using a garmin? Just the unreliability?

i've had 5 garmin 1000s in 3 years... When they work they're great.
I wanted to see if someone had made a product that was equal, but reliable. A bunch of other racers said they use the wahoo with success, but I can only assume we have different needs and standards.
For me it't not quite the whole product, alone. I don't like to be using my phone, seems like more faffing.I'll keep using the wahoo and see how I get on with it, just a bit disappointed with these few small issues. Mainly because I really wanted to like it, and be rid of the garmin.

Good points. It bugs me about zooming out, I often use that feature to determine how far it is to the next town and what size/ammeneties it might have. The garmin will display all the roads, allow me to move the map around, and will then show the amenities on the map.
My use is far beyond most people, so I can't bash it overall, their are a lot of things I like about it (hence giving it a go) but I think there are some very fundamental issues, that would be simple to fix, yet wahoo haven't noticed.
