View Wahoo Maps in Desktop

Is there anyway to view the same map data on the Wahoo Bolt on the desktop or online?
I have a gravel route planned that has some old logging roads and I am curious what the map will show beyond my created route. The area is between cell reception zones.

To be honest, I use a mix of Ride with GPS and also Komoot for route planning. They are pretty unbeatable and show tracks and roads even our NZ Topo maps are missing sometimes

What does Komoot add that Ride with GPS does not?

I do not need route planning, I have a route. What I am more interested in is where Wahoo gets their data from

Aaah, I can ask that for you, hang on

Neither is 100% complete when it comes to tracks in NZ. So I leverage both for route planning so I can see where tracks are. Aerials are useless for this where there is forest cover. We often ride “off piste” when bikepacking.

any idea for Canada?

The only way to check, is to open free versions of both and have a play. I tend to overlay them with heat maps as well, but it’s risky when it’s a tramping track. In a way, it’s lucky NZ is small, so if it doesn’t work out, it’s usually not too huge a detour to go back and head around by road.

@cycling I think the data is from OpenStreetMap.org but there may be other sources.

Confirming it IS OpenSteetMaps. However it has been transformed. If you plug your headunit into a laptop, you can actually open the map tiles and take a look :+1:

Narrowest straight line between tidal east and west cost is something like 250m
