So after the ride I created another ride myself using RWGPS and was careful to make sure that I was on the bike lanes. Same thing happened. It was constantly flashing red and then back to green, and not only around the turns. My guess here is that there was an update that tightened the off-track warning. It really doesn't need to be that tight though. I have no idea what the threshold is, but maybe it should be user adjustable, or maybe it already is but we just don't know about it. Is it 10', 25', 50' or what? And yet when I look at my ride afterwards it looks like I'm tracking right with my drawn route, except where I purposely deviated.

Another issue is that city GPS is notoriously spotty. The GPS sensor built into the Bolt probably isn't the strongest due to power requirements. On a rural route that shouldn't be an issue.

I'm going to check if Wahoo has a message board somewhere to bring it up. I know they have a Facebook group for the Kickr.
Did you ever get any more insight on this? Mine still seems to be off...I'm ready to send it back and try a Garmin. It was working perfectly for the first several rides and now every single turn it thinks I should turn way befor the turn.
