Nice to see a new unit but well happy with roam 
Does everything I want. In fact, I rarely think about it, sign of good kit.
I donāt any more as I have a Karoo 
but I did use, and loved, the āSmart Bike Lightsā connect IQ app.
You could set lots of custom logic for how the varia works, the two big ones for me were only lighting up when a vehicle is sensed during the day time (saving a huge amount of battery), and also recognising when you are braking to make the light bright.
For some other examples, GPLama has done some good videos - like the wind info and being able to multiple datafields for more information on the map screen.
I have been a Garmin user my entire cycling life. The new wind sensor for aero drag sounds absolutely ridiculous to meā¦ The wind sensor to tell me live time what direction the wind is coming from sounds absolutely amazing and exactly what I want.
I cant wait to see what it actually does but I have seriously yarned for a long time for a live time wind direction measurement so I can āhideā from it.
Where?
Found it!
I know but sometimes you actually need rerouting enabled too in case of road closures. Anyway it is way to quick with recalculating and should first advise you to head back if possible and off course you need a phone to enable/disable rerouting
Me too. I donāt know if Iām just dumb, but most of the time I canāt tell where wind is coming from.
I am āokayā at reading the wind but if I had some kind of icon saying its coming directly from X location I could position someone in that location to take the blunt of it for me HAHA
Use you earsā¦sounds strange, but you can usually feel and hear a slight difference in the wind around your ears based on the direction of the wind. There is a bit less āturbulenceā around the sheltered side of your head.
I grew up sailing with my dad so I can almost always quickly discern wind direction, even when I am in the bunch. Once you start to learn the differences in how it feels, it can become second nature.
Thatād diagonal screen size right? The Ace looks a bit wider than the 1050, so Iād guess theyāll be similar overall size. That size is āpretty damn bigā as far as Iām concerned, and that big battery is not going to be light. I wonder how the aero sensor is integrated, and if it adds thickness to the unit.
Some irony is spending $$ on light components and then $$$ on a 200g+ computer. Extra irony if itās a non-aero brick that will tell you whether youāre aero!
Haha. Iām a sailor, I always get a chuckle when cyclists start opining on the wind.
As someone else mentioned, itās not automatic, and I wouldnāt want it to be, BUT, itās just a swipe left or right when you turn on the computer. Hereās an example of the startup screen from my 1050 on the āRoadā profile. Swipe left or right for Gravel and MTB (those are what I configured. You could have whatever you want).
Someone mentioned the speaker acting as a bell and it made me wish that it would auto-chime coming around blind single track corners to alert any oncoming riders.
In the extremely rare occasion, I just zoom out and find a way around any road closures to get back on my original planned route. I donāt need to be rerouted based on a simple road closure.
On my first 100km+ ride I did dual ride both Wahoo and Garmin. The Garmin rerouting when there was a closed bridge was nicer, though it attempted to send me down a steep hill titled āSuicide Trail Roadā which I ignored. Sigh, I want aspects of both in one device. The decisions Wahoo made for their climb functionality work so well in my area for detecting climbs. Garmin works, to a lesser extent.
