I found the battery life on my 520 faded very quickly, and soon couldn't do more than 3 hours on the nav screen. No experience of the upgrade for the "plus" model, but it was enough to push me to switch to Wahoo. I went with the Roam, and am more than happy with it. Very easy set-up (I use RidewithGPS to plot routes, and these auto-sync to the computer). Battery is amazing. Did 2 x 5 hour rides using the navigation screen and recording power + HRM last week, and still have 70% remaining

I've had a wahoo elemnt (first gen) + now have a Garmin 530 and the wahoo is so much easier to use and less annoying.
To contradict @Brain-Stew though, I found the Garmin battery better - although I think it's probably a case of old Vs new device (i.e. only replaced the wahoo after 4 years use with brand new Garmin). Somewhat regret moving from wahoo...

So, want a gps for exploring all the trails and bridleways down here in Sussex so nav3pretty important
Are you wanting to see bridleways and trails mapped on the device itself or not?

I'd have a look at the Garmin Edge Touring if navigation is the priority over performance data. If you just want to ramble without a route occasionally, then the big touch screen will come in handy.

please don't shoot me if this has been discussed and answered a lot but as people experienced change and they have kit for more time their opinions may too! So, want a gps for exploring all the trails and bridleways down here in Sussex so nav3pretty important. I'll e getting cadence, speed etc dingle things too. Question is: wahoo elemnt bolt or garmin edge 520 plus? Lots or comparisons out there but I trust the brutal honesty of people on this forum.
Best wishes
