Can you get a sat nav for bikes?
Obviously I’m not expecting this to be a full sat nav like a Garmin or something like that, but is it possible to get a small sat nav system for a bike (bicycle, not motorbike).
When it comes to more advanced cycle computers, our two favourites are the Mio Cyclo 210 and Wahoo ELEMNT Bolt - which are priced identically (at the time of writing). The Mio is an entry-level unit that features a 10-hour battery life, Strava connectivity and a Surprise Me feature — which can create its own routes depending on how far or for how long the rider wants to cycle for. However, there’s no ANT+ connection so it can’t connect it to a heart rate monitor, nor is there Bluetooth. The ELEMNT Bolt can be an easy way of accessing route information and finding out just how well you’re performing. The Bolt can also pair directly with ANT+ sensors, like Wahoo's TICKR Fit heart rate monitor (as well as power meters, speed sensors, cadence sensors etc). If the recipient you have in mind is a gadget geek and a keen cyclist, the ELEMNT Bolt is made for them. If they're less handy with a smartphone and want smarter-looking navigation — the more affordable Mio Cyclo 210 would be our recommendation.
