New Garmin 1000 release date

Quite tempted by the Hammerhead Karoo, myself.

I think I'm going to stick with 800 and check out of Garmin.  The kit's all going Apple - more glitchy, less intuative, and getting more and more silly on price for a whole bunch of stuff that's just fripary and nonsense and adds nothing to core utility.

I was going to say don't buy a Garmin, buy a Wahoo, but most of the above posts already say that already.

Slightly off topic: Only issue with the Bolt that I can see is you currently can't make routes without an internet connection.

I also am unlikely to get a Garmin again unless they sack all their developers or start adding some proper quality control.

I have a Garmin and a Wahoo Elemnt. The functionality of the Wahoo is so easy to use even when on the fly compared to the Garmin. The display is very easy to read with a less cluttered approach. Creating routes is very simple to get onto the Wahoo from several easy to use websites, strava being one.

not sure why you think it looks cheap and nasty.

Yes it isn't colour, but works well and can be seen clearly in bright sunlight.

Does everything I need.

I have an edge 1000 and just got the Bolt. Whilst the Bolt has some nice features what's let's it down is the screen when using the maps. The garmin is sharp and clear, the bolt, to put it bluntly looks cheap and nasty. I wouldn't wait for the new 1000, get a good deal on one now 

I honestly would never touch a high end Garmin again. Have you looked at Wahoo? I've just bought a Bolt and it's been flawless.
