Reviews over the

Wahoo ELEMNT ROAM

I bought it mainly for the navigation functions and I expected a lot from it considering the price and marketing. The packaging is very nice but there is very little in it; no rubber fitting for the handlebar clamp, no fitting socket wrench, no safety lanyard. Garmin really does that better with the Edge 530. Setup with the iphone app is very easy but the app is needed a lot to adjust settings. I find the navigation with the chevrons on the map very unclear. A colored line would be better. When cycling wrong you don't get an alternative back to your route very quickly. In order to navigate halfway back home, maps have to be installed first. I also noticed that the speed stubbornly kept jumping back to miles/hour while I had clearly set km/h. It is a color screen but colors are used very sparingly. I have not looked at the training functions.
