The Wahoo offering looked promising, but I don't really want to have to use the phone's GPS.
The Lezyne Super has everything I'm looking for (Ant+ good sat reception, rechargable) and the ones that are missing (Strava Live, maps) are things I never use, but reviews are a bit lacking. Only 10 reviews on Amazon.
Hopefully I can use it with my Mio Link HRM sensor!
So does anyone here use this GPS, and if so, how do you like it. Is it easy to upload ride data to Strava?
It is worth noting that the ELEMNT/BOLT has onboard GPS and does not use phone GPS. You can ride, see the map, and get route turn navigation without having a phone.
What you may be thinking of is the need to use a phone app to change to a route not already on the head unit. The ELEMNT/BOLT does not do routing on the unit, so if you decide to reroute or change destination while riding, you'll need a data connected phone to do it. Similarly, if you miss a turn or otherwise get off course, the unit will not reroute you and help you get back on course (other than showing you where you are on the map).
