I did notice that I just updated mine for the 3rd time this month.

I spent a year with a Hammerhead Karoo, which had the best hardware on the market, and software written by people who apparently don't know how to make anything work. Updates would utterly break the unit-- it would forget how to use sensors, randomly reboot, TBT would go absolutely berserk. The software battery management still hasn't been sorted out-- I would have one ride at 6% use per hour, and a couple days later it would use 30% per hour. The Wahoo is incomparably stable.
Thanks DrI. All I know is I did a ride with the Bolt on Friday Sept 6. It worked fine, recognizing my turn locations as it always had. Then two days later I did another ride - the first 25 miles of which were the exact same route I did two days prior, and it had a problem recognizing that I wasn't yet at my turn, as well as thinking i was off-route in many places where there was not turn.

All good now.
