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?
