If you mostly want to have maps and directions and other display info (like the radar already mentioned) up on the display, go for the Elemnt or the Roam. I now have the Roam, I'd say get that if you can afford it, the Elemnt if you want to save money. My original Elemnt is now on my wife' s bike, I like the Roam for the color display and it has some (not very sophisticated or reliable yet) re-reouting capability.
This is kind of misleading as it implies the Bolt doesn’t have maps and turn-by-turn directions, which of course it does as it’s essentially the same software as the larger Elemnt. Bolt is a smaller screen is all.
And I would think that the aerodynamic benefit of a Bolt over the Elemnt is ?, minuscule ?, unmeasurable ?, you’d likely gain more benefit shaving that morning.
