I’m trying to understand those errors. If I go off a route with the wahoo i just appear off the dotted line on the map and it then flashes once I get back on the planned route. The Garmin did the same but had rerouting ability which was an advantage if very unpredictable. To view the whole route I’d look on the app. I’ve never tried routing with headset only via the app. I’ve had a few occasions where it has lost signal under trees as I did with Garmin. I don’t like the USB port cover and the Garmin mount was better. I’ve had one occasion when it hasn’t uploaded automatically although Strava was down that day. It pairs quite well with the phone so I can see texts and Mrs Geo can follow me, on occasion this drops out, probably because of the phone signal.

educate me steve,
Does this komoot/wahoo twinning use the internet at any point to create the routeing that you rate so much?
Polite question.

Have you tried googling 'apostrophe' or 'shortened form'?

Sorry about that reply (and initially I think you had two posts, one after the other, telling me to go look at google) as have always valued your posts. I thought cchat was for folk to exchange info and views (latter politely expressed) about cycling stuff.
If the answer is just to google stuff, it may as well shut up shop.
Can only conclude that in fact wahoo is a cult - questions about it are seen as some form of blasphemy.
Seeing as Steve got out of bed the wrong side - the answer is yes, the internet is required.

Agree - the odd crash is not critical as long as nothing is lost. Hardly as if it's crashing on a descent to another planet. I can also see that it might be an issue if you were in some sort of race but races I think are usually marked.
I'd be interested in more info you might have on the GPS "signal jamming" - you mean deliberate jamming or some sort of glitch? Have long had the idea that my Etrex 20 can switch off sometimes if it loses GPS signal contact, particularly if it's navigating a route of its own rather than one of my point to point inputted ones.
But as I say I don't see it as critical for my purposes. Am quietly confident that my stable of Etrex 20/s will see me out - pretty simple things, I am conservative with updating the software, endless supplies of new rechargeable AA batteries.
As stated in my post above mine would turn off after about 3 mile, always in the same vicinity, a country road through a small hamlet, a factory reset cured this, when I think back I can't remember it turning off if I took a different route from home, it dosn't turn off now where it used to, its a bit of a mystery combined with old age and senility.

If you were running on internal routing, could it have been a routing issue. Maybe solved by your maps having been updated? Mine sometimes decides that it cannot plot a route because it doesn't have the necessary map data.
No i only use the Garmin for recording.
