V1.4 – 17th June 2017 This is my opinion of current & future devices across the GPS running/cycling market. Updates to this will be issued as and when information emerges which may include rumors, although note well that any information provided to me under NDA by manufacturers will not appear here. So there might yet…
WAHOO’s new, smaller-sized, “ELEMNT BOLT” looks great. It comes in at pretty much the same size as Garmin’s Edge 520 and Edge 820. Whilst it hasn’t got the same, rich feature set as the 820 it nevertheless does have a great feature set. No doubt it hopes to capitalise on some of the uncertainties still remaining…

The cunning plan was to circle the Roundabout-of-GPS-Doom. Perhaps a faster-moving me might give rise to different GPS results than previous running-based tests?…
A few annoying little feubles on the Garmin Edge 820 have been squashed with the latest v3.20 firmware. My wifi software update kept getting stuck on the home page – not any more. Sometimes it was tricky navigating back onto a course – not any more. Panic at home as I DIDN’T have an accident…
