In-depth review: dcra.in/ROAM
Here's everything you need to know about the new features of the Wahoo ELEMNT ROAM, primarily from a navigation standpoint (which, are...well...the only new features). Though I do talk about the new color screen, the ambient light sensor, as well as how the new mapping works - complete with turn by turn directions and route recalculation. I then go hands-on to show what data fields look like, plus things like browsing on the map to route to various locations, and Strava routes. Not to mention trace back and plenty more. Dive in for all the details!

@@shaneturner4630 Some of us need a bigger display because our sight has gone and wearing glasses and sunglasses is a No no. So it might not suit you, but it suits me. Edge screens as an engineer are difficult to save if dropped. This has been built so if you crash or it gets knocked off it will survive. So nice to have an opinion, but that is all it is.

In the absence of actually needing a new device I almost always find myself wondering what the next version may be like. I think with people reportedly waiting longer than ever to replace their smart phones, perhaps the similarly incremental approach in sports technology will eventually force manufacturers to look at introducing more substantial and fully functional features in each new device iteration. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

Excellent review. You addressed the screen size early on which I was interested in as going from a water-damaged Bolt (side button flap detached) to std Elemnt was disappointed in gaining a cm or 2 of height and no extra width. Looks like the Roam bezel is better. That said, I like the simplicity of the b&w display and the breadcrumb feature once you get used to it is delightfully simple. I never use turn-by-turn as it takes the fun out of riding. Just become savvy with the breadcrumb. Fearful that the extra map detail will make it less useable/more Garmin-like. Trying to fit too much into too little (not just size, but computing power)

I have one of these on order (got 10% off and free shipping). Assuming they get turn-by-turn with Strava routes working, this will do everything I need. I also like that I can recreate an outdoor ride using the unit to control my Kickr. I've been using an Edge 500 for seven years now. I also have a Hammerhead Karoo, but it's had enough issues that I just don't trust it to work all the time, so I'll give Wahoo a shot.

Very interesting and great comparison with the other units. I am weighing up the ROAM vs the Edge 1030. As a long term Garmin user (Garmin Connect history and currently Edge 800 and VivoActive etc etc) the Edge 1030 seems to be the right choice. However to buy-in now, as the 1030 has been around for two years it may be that we could see a 1050 in a year or so. What do you think, Is it worth waiting to see what Garmin release, or could it be a long wait?

Could you do an update review if they changed/added features? I am in the market for a GPS for riding MTB. I love the features that Garmin has like telling you the remaining route distance, remaining elevation on a climb, etc. However, I can't stop seeing people gripe about software issues that plague the Garmin and that's really pushing me away from it and towards Wahoo, but I really want that data among other features. THanks!

My 810 before that was less than perfect too. The 530 seems to have cool features but Wahoo has a reputation for being less buggy

Marketing, most likely. They commit to a release date/press event well in advance. Things get delayed on the development side, and they ship a product out that might need software updates out of the box. I'd assume there's a solid 30-60 day lead time from manufacturing to delivery to a consumer.

shanmac77 I’ve done this in the past. Trouble is that your phone screen isn’t designed to be on for that long. You have to force it not to dim or turn the screen off.. which means that the battery deteriorates. Even more so if it’s in direct sunlight. You’ll also want to get an anti-glare screen. Sweaty hands make operating a phone touchscreen quite difficult. So many times I struggled to unlock my phone after it locked during a big effort, i.e. exactly when you want data. If you’re in a crash, the last place you want your phone to be is out front taking the brunt of it. I could go on. These points are all fine if you’re a casual commuter. If you’re doing long distance or high intensity rides, though, a phone just doesn’t cut the mustard.

The main problem with navigating with the bolt is that you can't scroll around the map. You can zoom out but then you cannot see the smaller roads that you probably want to use. Then there is the cadence sensor which is just a random number generator.

Garmin seems to dump and run, never fixing issues before moving on to the next device. I'd like to upgrade to a Roam from a Garmin edge 130, but based on this review is be edge 530 all the way. Has Wahoo improved the roam enough to be a real contender?

I'm a Garmin user now, but back when I used to own an ELEMNT, there were two extremely annoying bugs that ultimately contributed to my ditching it. First, the cue sheet did not automatically scroll after a turn. Instead, the distance-to-turn field for that turn continued to count down into negative numbers. To get back in sync with my current location, I had to flip to the map page and then back to the cue sheet. Even then, the results were not ideal. Instead of showing the upcoming turn and the next two turns (which is what I think most users would want), it showed the upcoming turn and the two *previous* turns (turns that I had already made and did not care about anymore). Have these problems been fixed by now?

I am new bike computers, so forgive my noobishess. Can you simply just record your rides out on the trails without downloading specific routes the device will want me to follow? Will these devices tell where I am at on trails without downloading them ahead of time? Also, I heard a problem with the Roam is that when you go off course, it tries to get you to go back to the point you originally left instead of how it is like on Garmins where you can just get back on track wherever you want. Is that true?

Having bought a Garmin 820 based on a DCR review, I found features that sounded good were underwhelming and erratic. Basic operation like uploading at end of ride is cranky at best. Grade on ascents is negative at times (ummm). BT link to phone is bad. Overall, PITA device for me. Iv see the first REI review says/said "hey, the darn buttons are erratic". Fun to discuss the fancy pants features, but geez, the buttons should work. I guess I will pass

Be wary of using the 'take me to' feature. I've used this on the ELEMNT several times and have come to grief each time. Directed to take private gated roads or tracks that you really shouldn't be riding expensive road bikes on. Wahoo are aware of this problem but say it's something that is beyond their control; in their words "we are not Google" 🤨

Hello guys, is it possible to load 3rd party maps downloaded on the internet on the Wahoo? Such as Openfietsmap, where on a Garmin I can put the map ".img" file on via USB and the map will show up on the head unit.

No it isn't. The customisation is light years behind Garmin. But the reliability in my experience is far greater.

Considering how much tech they can cram into a $500 phone, these offerings from Wahoo and Garmin always leave me with that "meh" feeling. Currently using a Bolt. Don't see any worthwhile reasons to upgrade.

HI DC, can you give a clue how did you mount the camera, that it's not wobbling all the place ? I'm looking for some help with that :)

I typically use a gimbal when shooting. Ike head units. Or, when not I shoot a bit wider using a GoPro Hero7 Black or my phone, and then I use stabilization software in post to smooth it out (and crop in a bit). Finally, I usually slow the head unit footage to 50%, which reduces the visibility of the movement.

Jacek Thomann Yup, all while riding. Years of practice. I’ve tried chest mounts, but the perspective is too far away in most scenarios for head units, except as establishing shots. I think I had one or two of those in here somewhere.

I guess the “lag” on screen refresh is due to video recording, right? Never saw this on my Bolt and I guess the Roam is not slower.

Since I am not a natural speaker maybe I cannot describe what I mean, e.g. recording 60fps of a 25fps display may create some effects the human eye doesn’t see. This means screen refresh on the Roam is slower than on the Bolt?

@@orci77 Totally understand, but it was recorded in 30FPS and edited/processed in 30FPS. In this case, the ROAM is legit slower for me. It's one of my core complaints.

DC Rainmaker ok that wasn’t quite clear to me even after reading your review. Thought it was more related to mapping. But that’s not good. Thanks for the clarification and I stay happy with my Bolt.
