• Are bike computers for navigation worth it?
    I haven't ever had a computer with mapping, and my Garmin 500 died finally.
    Would be mostly for weekend riding and a bit of bikepacking from time to time, and while I'm usually riding with other people with navigation devices, I need to start taking responsibility and lead more.
    I'm vaguely looking at Garmin 840 or wahoo roam v2, but it's a lot of money for a bit of battery saving over a quadlock and my phone.
    I don't care about power or fancy features.
    If people use phones, what apps do you use and how much do they cane your battery?

  • Are bike computers for navigation worth it?

    Yes. They're more rugged than phones and batteries tend to last longer.

    No. They can be almost as expensive as phones and if you're not doing long rides or rides in shit conditions, why not just use your smartphone?
