Looking specifically into mtb mapping here. I’m familiar with how each unit works but the one thing keeping me on garmin is the Trailforks integration. I know wahoo has it, but at least in its infancy, was abysmal
Can anyone on a wahoo comment on offroad maps, either with Trailforks or otherwise? My 830 battery is starting to go and I’m debating replacing with a refurb 830 vs jumping ship to wahoo. A refurb 830 and bolt/roam on sale are all around the same price. I’ve also heard rumors of new units from wahoo on the horizon?
I don’t have any info on Wahoo. However, my Edge 1040 has all of the local trails in Tucson that I ride in the maps. You can do routes on the trails and ClimbPro works perfectly on the trails that I ride with or without a route.
Wahoo has decent but not perfect off-road maps. My experience has been trail centers (Kingdom trails in VT for example) are well mapped, local trails can be a bit hit or miss. I would say ‘most’ of my local trails are on it but not all. I’d bet that is location dependent, I’m in eastern mass so a lot of our woods are in state forests, preserves etc. that are managed so maybe the maps are more updated? I don’t know what wahoo uses to source its maps, if you can find that out, it might provide some insight.
Has Trailforks been updated since its wahoo release? It’s damn good on a phone or garmin but every review of the wahoo integration has been pretty poor
