GPS recommendations...

Lock-in i.e. compelled to buy the same brand when you add more items. Generally, for example, it doesn't matter too much which heart monitor or speed sensor you buy, as they all tend to connect to any GPS. However, we've recently bought bathroom scales. It's really annoying that they can't feed readings to Garmin Connect, because we didn't buy Garmin scales - and were never going to do so, because their prices for the product are (ahem) off the scale. Would have been useful because Garmin tracks weight as part of health measurement. So, maybe move away from Garmin, even though it's what I've bought for everything else so far. As it stands, our scales feed into another system.

I get you, thanks for the reply.

Back in 2017 Garmin's did the same, treated a route like a treasure hunt, you had to cover every inch of the route. The (gradually) things improved and it started routing back to route more sensibly. But recent releases it's reverted back to "Treasure Hunt" and keeps routing you back to the closure.

I've found with Garmin, software updates are like buying a lottery ticket, you may win. Trouble, although you purchased the device outright with your money Garmin still regard it as their's to do with what they want when they want. So avoiding software updates is difficult and a software update can do anything from bricking your entire device to even (rarely) adding a minor feature you might find useful. But select "Later" when asked about updates and it will later decide just to update without asking again (and choices offered are "Now" or "Later" (you have to close the dialog message without chosing either option to not update (until it asks again in a few days). Polite software update system that respect your choice offer "Skip this version". But that's Garmin's attitude.

Agree entirely.

However I do feel that if a GPS manafacturer is too come up with live routing - that's more likely to come from Garmin than wahoo.

Just to reiterate I am currently a wahoo user.but when buying again I think it would be Garmin.
