Hello,

I have an ELEMNT BOLT V2 GPS BICYCLE COMPUTER. Now I’m planning a longer bike tour with breaks. The bike computer stays on. Can you turn off the bolt to save power and then reactivate it to continue recording?

Best regards

    The custom maps community for wahoo is very strong. They update maps, and using OSM data, more frequently then wahoo. You can download maps here and then you push it to your device with an app called Elemantary. Find the read me in that onedrive folder.

    Getting the bolt into dev mode such that it can connect via usb is a bit fiddly, you have to push power and up/down buttons at once. But if you are persistent you will get it.

    Now having used Ridewithgps for planning I find it superior to Komoot. I find the yearly plan a bit expensive as I don’t use it often, but subbing to the monthly plan on occasion is a fair price imo. The free feature list also pretty rich already. So consider your use cases.

    Maybe download something like Organic Maps on iPhone for offline maps as a back up solution.

        See my video (once i figure out how to upload videos to lemmy…). You will have to

        • turn on the device, leave it unplugged.
        • push power + up + down
        • connect to the computer and refresh

        It might not go in one try. it took me three times before I got it.

          I have been waiting to get approved for a peertube account on tilvids.com, but after 7 days i am still waiting. Did you manage to get it in dev mode already? I have the video for you still, if you have a suggestion for another platform i can upload it to.
