I bought one back in April (shortly after they came out). I love it! I've been looking at computers for awhile and none of them looked like what I wanted. This one is pretty nearly perfect. Very easy to set up and use. I already use RideWithGPS, so loading routes in to the Bolt was very easy for me. I used it for turn-by-turn on BRAG Spring Tune-Up in April and it caught every turn. It has a different audible signal for left, right, and straight, which I find very useful. I finally have heart rate visible when I ride, and I find that to be very helpful.

The only problem I've encountered with it happened when I tried to resync routes from a hotel room. I couldn't get on wifi because it was a "guest" wifi and the Bolt has no way to handle the prompt screen for those. I tried syncing through my phone's hotspot, but was never able to get the Bolt to connect to it. I finally loaded the route in to the app on my phone and uploaded it to the Bolt from there.
