I'm not totally committed to the full-size Elemnt, but thanks for the offer
@FitmanNJ. My man
@fidodie - all you, Pat.
@jdog I saw ads for this last week. Have you gotten to use one yet? DC Rainmaker didn't seem to happy with the sensor compatibility - apparently it utilizes the Bluetooth radio for just the phone when it's in "Phone Mode" and you can only use certain sensors when doing so. As in, only the most recent generation of Wahoo branded sensors. I have a bunch of ANT+ sensors that I would be bringing with me, HR being the biggest, that I would need to replace. Also, no GPS without connected phone. Also also, I'm ready for something I can load a route into and get nav.
HOWEVER - like you said, it has A LOT of functionality for $99.
