Until yesterday I had close to zero interest in tracking myself via Strava or whatever. (Also, years ago, I had a brief relationship with a Garmin 800 [I think it was], which very quickly descended to mutual loathing.) But yesterday I started thinking, and ... kind of ... changed my mind ... maybe.
Wahoo Element Bolt was a name I thought of. I duckduckwent for it. Damn, that's a lot of money for something I might soon drop, have stolen, or simply hate. Helpfully reading my mind, Amazon also recommended doodads branded "Xoss", "Coospo", and "Cycplus", for under one fifth of the price. Since none of these is shown displaying a map, I infer that they don't display maps. I can live with that. As for what they do claim to do, it's mostly Greek to me. (Apologies to any Greek persons reading this.) But I presume that they can get a file of where I went into my computer, where RwGPS or whatever can digest it. Good.
Any GPS For Dummies advice, or quick (dis)recommendations for any example(s) of this genre?
(One thing I know I'd appreciate is being able to buy a second mount, so that the device could be easily moved from one bike to another.)
