![]() ![]() It's also more road riding orientated, planning a MTB route is even worse. You can set the waypoints on a Google Maps map, but you can't edit/move the already set waypoints anymore. Route planning is done via the iGPSport app. The iGS520 has no internal maps, so it only shows you the route and gives you directions when to turn, which is fine for me as I usually ride in my home area. I only tried it with the first Firmware 1.05 (?), the current one is 1.10, which might have some improvements. The computer itself works great, you can connect your Powermeter, configure which data you want to see on the pages, both things the Xoss can't do.Ĭompared to a friends Wahoo it was also pretty accurate. I bought it because I was very curious how good/bad the cheapest GPS bike computer with Navigation is. GPS connection is okay, the GPS fix takes sometimes a bit longer (could be the place where I live), and sometimes it loses the connection while riding in the forest. The karoo connects to wifi, but you need to go through an odd web page to load a trackįor instance they are currently fixing the power meter issue, and I'm sure it will come soon in one of their regular update.įor around 35€ a nice simple bike computer with ANT+ and Bluetooth. It has only ~7h autonomy, with bluetooth off and minimal lightning to be visible a sunny day. They could do real breakthrough interfaces with such hardware. Same poor in-ride interface, with ungraphical pages with numbers. Unfortunately they just compete with other bike computers. Karoo has a neater navigation, touchscreen, real colors. I then use the Karoo 2 to record my rides and navigation.Īfter using the Wahoo Bolt for a few years. If they had the quick finger mapping of Strava, I would just ditch out Strava. eg: avoid main roads, cobbles, or maximize single tracks for MTB(but manual), etc.Īnd start to have many points of interest referenced by the community. ![]() Komoot has precises terrain info and types. A gold mine.īut then I send them to Komoot, for review/rework. ![]() Strava have their heatmap, all tracks/roads people went to. Strava(subscriber) has a great route generation tool on mobile.
