As opposed to a Garmin/Wahoo which saves the ride immediately via the smartphone app and the cell data connection.
Well, I'm really pretty much un-interested in uploading my rides anywhere.......I'm pretty much solely interested in navigation, just as if I was driving somewhere new and unfamiliar. My version of activity tracker is to write down my distance ridden on a calendar, rounded to the nearest mile. So, I guess I'm still part cave man!

You might want to activate the function on the Garmin that will transmit the completed ride as smoke signals.

My problem is I’m a gadget freak and love computer toys. I was using a computer activity tracker back in the late 90’s, all those rides are on Excel spreadsheets that I’ve rarely looked at, yuk, yuk.

The Wahoos provide the same level of navigation that the ancient 500 does (through, the Wahoo is a nicer implementation).

It's easy to download pinned RWGPS routes on the newer Garmins (no syncing require).
