I returned my Garmin Edge 1050 because I felt the interface to be clunky and unintuitive. If you’re already familiar with Garmin products that may be a different story, but for me it was a quick no. The Wahoo is so easy to use, with voice turn by turn directions and a built in bell. I know the Garmin has some or all of those features and more, but it was too clunky. I appreciate Wahoo’s ease of use. I only wish the bell could be integrated with Shimano or SRAM buttons.
I love the Roam. The advancements they’ve made on this version are worth the upgrade if you are on an older version. The enhanced colors and touchscreen make this a great computer. As always, it is easy to mange the computer from you phone.
The software is a huge disappointment. The user interface is significantly different than the existing software and there is very limited information on these changes. Wahoo has terrible product support - no manuals, no chat service available and AI what doesn't answer many questions. What information there is on its website is confusing and unclear. This is a bike computer that costs almost $500 and most of its features are not usable.
Excellent Computer- I download maps from Ride with GPS. Set up was not as easy as I remember from previous Wahoo computer and this uses a different app (Wahoo rather then Element), which doesn't see to have as much connectivity (yet). Touch screen is good. I had the original element and this was worth the upgrade.
Product kept losing GPS. Have a service ticket on this for them to look into.
