There are some (randonneurs) who find the lack of re-routing if you get off course to be a feature, not a bug.
If you’re riding a brevet, it’s against the rules to ride anything but the official route. For randonneuring, you want a computer that has only the official route and seeks to have you return to it. Wayfinding on the fly with the Elemnt is, IMHO, better than the Garmin. You basically have access to the same search functions as the Maps app on your smart phone. Want to find a local coffee shop? Find it on your phone, map it with the Wahoo app, and upload it to the computer. Way easier than the finicky data entry on the Garmin (at least, the 800 series, which is what I still have on my travel bike). --Eric Norris [email protected] @CampyOnlyguy (Twitter/Instagram) > On Mar 3, 2019, at 6:46 PM, Matt <[email protected]> wrote: > > The ELEMNT doesn’t do that—it won’t recaculate anything, it’ll just beep and > flash at you that you’re off course.
