• Just how bad is the BOLT for mapping/navigation? The internet is filled with opposing views on whether it's good enough: on the one hand - the screen is too small and there are no street names/the chevrons are crap; on the other hand - navigation is fine as long as you don't want anything too technical, you can use your phone if need be.

    Is it worth the extra £100?

  • Extra £100 as opposed to which model? It was my first Wahoo, used it for a good while, I think it's good enough, provides zoom levels. But if you get lost you need to find the way back (or connect to the route upstream) yourself. But zoom (zoom out this time) still works (can't pan...) you can kind of work out which direction you need to go. Screen updates faster compared to bigger screen Wahoo models (due to all of them being e-ink, small is faster) so overall the unit feels snappier too. And the buttons feel much nicer compared to the bigger models. (I have experience with all three, switched to a mate's older ELEMNT when the Roam order got delayed and I had already sold my Bolt)

  • Compared to the Roam.

    That's what I was worried about, going off the beaten track etc.

    If you do go off track, could you not just get your phone out and recalculate the route? Or is it not that simple?

    If you had the choice of either, would you go for the roam or bolt?
