When hiking even with auto pause off, the Bolt does not show meters climbed/descended. It shows accurately the 'current' elevation, but does not record the ascent/descent.

I know it's not designed for hiking, but the Garmin does this very well, and lots of cyclists also use their computer for hiking. I think it might just be a small software tweak required.

I had posted this on the DCRainmaker site and a member saw the files and came to the conclusion that the Garmin was recording data even when the speed was slow, say 1-1.5kmph, while the Wahoo files showed speed as 0 all the time and hence did not record data at all.

Simple solution would be to either:

1. Allow the software of the Wahoo to record at any speed, or
2. Put in a 'walking' mode which will allow data to be recorded at low speeds

When hiking, with 30-35% climbs, speeds will be low, but my Garmins, earlier the 500 and now the 520 have always worked well.

I know guys will jump on me saying that it is not designed for hiking, but like I said, my Garmins have always handled the hikes very well.

Beyond this, even when cycling, the Bolt shows gain/loss less than my Garmin does.
