Wahoo Bolt Navigation

mrpbennett

Hey Team

a quick one here, I have been doing a lot of research between the Garmin 820 (what i have now) and the Wahoo Bolt. I have seen a lot of video and reviews, but one thing I was unable to find was what I really like about the Garmin when it comes to navigation.

I use my main data screen and very rarely on the maps (unless I am lost) but i quite like the turn by turn pop ups on my main screen. Only navigation stuff i have seen on the wahoo is on the actual navigation screen. Does the wahoo allow for "pop ups" when you're coming to a turn when you're on your main data screen?

Hard to describe what i mean but hope you understand.

Yes, it does allow for it. When going out on a ride, if you want guidance you select on the route you want to follow and then change screens to one that shows you regular data (speed, cadence etc etc) and then as and when necessary directions pop up onto the screen.

I changed from a Garmin 810 to the Bolt and wouldn't swap back, can strongly recommend it.

Interesting, I love the app set up of things. The garmin connect app sucks balls, and generally the connect sync thing isnt quite poo too. It's still asking me to update to maps 10.0. Annoying thing is though I have just bought the Garmin (about a month ago) So it's either hire an element from Rapha (I'm a RCC member) to test it out.

Or just sell the Garmin 820 with a HRM and buy the Bolt.
