Navigation updates include similar functions found on the Wahoo Roam and include

Back on track, Route To Start, Get me started, Retrace Your Route, Take me to, Saved Locations.

We see an internal memory update from 4gb to 16gb. This helps with map and route storage on the device and makes travelling to new locations a breeze compared to the original Bolt.

The new 64 Colour screen display helps in a multitude of ways when on the bike and brings the computer up to the level of its competition. The added bonus of the new ambient light sensor helps the display to be seen in all conditions/time of day.

If you're a triathlete the multi-sport handover could help you save those precious seconds in your cycle transition, but you'll need a Wahoo Rival watch for that!

The whole unit, although looking the same see's a host of small updates too, what's your favourite one...and would you buy one?
