Wahoo Elemnt Bolt - TBT prompts can be enlarged?
Is there a way to enlarge the TBT warnings or make it clearer? I am thinking of getting a Bolt and will use it 50% for navigation. But i'm worried that my 54 year old eyes will have difficulty picking up the count down for up coming prompts?........I want the distance countdown to be as large as possible and from what i've read and seen on youtube that is one font that doesn't get changed. It should be quite hard to read the distance countdown to a turn on a fast moving bumpy bike in traffic**********

It was either the last firmware update or the one prior that made the TBT notification banners much easier to read. I have used the navigation on my Bolt since the update and can read the writing with no problem. Used it this past weekend on the MS150. I'm 71 so my eyes are probably worse than yours.

The Bolt is pretty readable but if you're in the "my arms are too short" crowd, you'll be happier with the Elemnt. It's not that much larger, but for the same number of fields on the display, it's a lot easier to read for those of use who need readers. Get the Elemnt. You'll be happier. The software is almost entirely the same so you don't give up any functionality.
