Seeing this edit explains some things, and makes clear what we're really talking about, so thank you.

Is BOLT a "Garmin killer"?

The market will decide that, of course, and BOLT is just getting to market now, so time will tell. It looks like Garmin is concerned, if price drops on 520 are any indication.

The real discussion, though, is not about maps, but feature sets and ease-of-use. I think Wahoo will change market expectations on those counts by delivering better than Garmin (esp. 520) on both those counts. That's my personal guess based on what seem to be the typical complaints about Garmin units, but again, we'll see what adoption of BOLT is like.
