The Cyclo 505 probably has the best navigation of all - it will stick to the route like baby poo to a blanket (quoted from another poster which i thought really describes the Cyclo505). Any deviation will be handled by the 505 pointing you back to the nearest point to join the route.
Can anyone help me decide if the screen clarity of the elemnt is worth ditching the Cyclo 505 for?
The Elemnt is a fantastic computer and yes the screen is one of the most readable out there but...... Where you will bump into an issue with the Elemnt, or the Bolt for that matter, is the black and white screen is not optimal for navigation. The roads, chevrons ect are difficult to read and will blend in together somewhat.
For data and text based items it rocks but the one area when it's screen hurts it is in navigation.
