I know the conversation has moved on, but no, you don't need a smart phone - I was merely saying if you want to investigate the roads in the area and really zoom in on the maps, the Wahoo doesn't really let you do that. I don't ever look at maps when I'm riding - generally - so it's a non-issue for me. I just follow the route because I will have planned it anyway so have a decent idea of where I am most of the time.
