The Bolt uses third party apps like RWGPS as you mentioned and Kamoot and also the conpanion app on the phone to give you similar funtionality but it is not a true navagation unit in my eyes as you can't use it by itself, which is why i said "fake". As I said previously the no automatic rerouting for me was the killer, I get sidetracked a lot when riding and often miss my turns so the computer being able to get me back on track was a feature I wanted.
I am not knocking the Bolt as it works for a lot of people and it is a lot easier to setup using the phone but it is not for me. My bro uses the Garmin 130 and feels that is all he needs so there we go.
