Screen on all the time would be silly.
GPS calls out the turns over the headset, cycling app is running using GPS for map tracking (Wahoo uses both, GPS and sensor for speed) so the only thing different is the screen. I DO have a screen to show me stats, that is the Wahoo RFLKT, but it does not show a GPS map.

Since the screens are huge, and they take a lot of power to be seen in the sun, I would not expect it last for the full century..


AND more importantly, was not part of the original specification. The Wahoo RFLKT with GPS, HR + bike sensors and listening to music over BT will last just fine for an all day ride.
