Interested to know how these are panning out for navigation. (I couldn’t give a flying fig about training data, segments, etc: I just want proper, ie not just breadcrumb, navigation.)
In particular:
– How painful is it to load and sync maps? (Especially for long routes which stretch the required area into thousands of square miles.)
– How painful is it to work with RideWithGPS? From what I’ve read online, it seems to mean downloading from RWGPS and then uploading to GPS Root—which is clunky but not a deal breaker—but I’ve also seen at least one comment saying the navigation won’t work without a phone being paired up while riding, which I’m sceptical of, but would be an issue. And if you upload a TCX are the cue points and POIs retained and displayed?
After having ditched Garmin for Wahoo and then gone straight back to Garmin, I’ve just had a frustrating weekend with Garmin again and am starting to think I might have to shelve some of my objections to the Wahoo/Lezyne approach to navigation. To be honest I suspect Lezyne falls functionally somewhat short of both, but the battery life is certainly appealing. Any thoughts? (Indeed, any other suggestions, eg Polar?)
