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.
Ah...thanks very much for that feedback. This is the first comment i've heard where the chevrons would be difficult to distinguish from the rest of the map.
Another function lacking is re-routing which is currently not on the wahoo units. I once had to made a diversion from my planned route (was diverted because there was another event running on parts of my route) and i followed everyone else away from my route - i could see the Cyclo 505 complaining but it continued to always point me back to how to return to my route. So i knew i was generally heading towards the correct direction to join the other sections of my route. It was very reassuring to have the cyclo 505 show me the correct direction of where i would eventually join up to my route. That wouldn't have been possible with the Wahoo units. Getting diverted and returning to my route on the Cyclo 505 was a thoroughly seamless experience- in fact it was quite cool and i quite enjoyed the brief diversion (because it caused zero problems for me). On the Wahoos i imagine you'll have to stop and pull your phone out to reprogram a new route to be then loaded into the Wahoos?
