Hi, Pat,
I'm curious to know whether Wahoo has improved a few features that were a frustration for me in the past. Do you know if:
1) ...there's now a way for the user to "manually" update the maps? I believe that Wahoo announced a map update a few months ago, but I've wondered whether it added any user functionality or was just a one-time update to the original, "static" map provided by Wahoo at purchase (which is a pretty good version of Open Street Maps, but wouldn't reflect any additions/changes made after its creation by Wahoo).
2) ...you can now see trails at scales higher than the "2000'" view? In the past, IIRC, you couldn't see trails on the map if zoomed out more than 2000'. If this were possible, it would help with my third concern below:
3) ...you can now scroll the maps. I'm pretty sure that you still can't, but if concern #2 were addressed, then scrolling would be less necessary. Of course, as you've pointed out, there's always Maprika, etc. for searching beyond the visible map on the Elemnt.
Other than that, there's a lot to like about the Elemnt/Bolt, including a really sharp screen that's easy to ready even in bright sunlight. Thanks!
Why are you asking Pat, he's barely used it . I have about 6K miles on mine. It's easy to update maps thru the phone app. At some point trails disappear as you zoom out but I don't know what scale that is - has never been an issue for me. No scrolling.
