Sociable companion with quite a few quirks

- Anton, 1 July, 2025

During our 1500 km bike ride through Norway, the GPS was nicknamed the parakeet. It chirps along nicely to guide you along the preset route. If you deviate from the route you will know it. The little beast keeps unruly beeping that you deviate from the route, ad nauseam. You can turn off the sound and follow the directions on the display and the LEDs at the top of the display, which, for example, indicate the direction of travel. As I couldn't load the map of Norway via the app on the GPS, I only saw the route. This went well outside the city but in Oslo, for example, it was not doable. Only on the last day of cycling in the hotel, I was suddenly able to delete all maps and load Norway's. Hooray! That was nice to be able to navigate in Oslo. I did occasionally have to check the same route on my mobile in Komoot to make sure we were cycling correctly. In that, the Parakeet's display turned out not to be detailed enough. Not really cool, then. In the end, I wouldn't really recommend this gps to rely on it blindly.

Bit of a disappointment

- Niels, 1 May, 2024

After 7 years of loyal service, my Lezyne Macro GPS finally seemed to have given up the ghost (turned out not to be the case after all). Immediately seized the moment to buy the Wahoo ELEMNT Bolt v2. My friends were very enthusiastic about it. It is certainly handy that it indicates climbs, but if there are even a few trees it loses the GPS. Besides, I've already had three times that the route suddenly stopped after x number of kilometres. Suddenly a finish flag appears on the screen and that's it. I sometimes stand by the side of the road for 15 minutes reloading the route until it suddenly does it again.

Pros & Cons

Climbs are indicated
Nice screen
Lost GPS under trees
Route stops just like that
