I can comment on the Karoo since I have one. I would not recommend
it. You definitely can't use mkgmap to build maps. The maps that it
comes with are really poor for mtn biking. You can't create a route
unless you have internet access. You can't load a gpx track as an
overlay on the map.

My main interest is navigation. I'm not particularly bothered about
cadence sensors, power outputs etc and so I've come across the
following....
Garmin Edge 530
Can anyone guarantee that maps created with mkgmap currently work on
this device. I discovered the mkgmap project when looking for a source
of free maps for Garmin devices as I think the policy of Garmin to
charge extra for maps on a GPS is insulting.

Hammerhead Karoo 2
Pricier option but is well reviewed. I'm guessing proprietary maps but
it claims bi-monthly updates

Mio Cyclo 215
Cheapest but I've never heard of them and so I'm wary

I've already ruled out Wahoo but if anyone has any other alternatives
or comments I'm willing to listen
Thanks for reading and for any replies
