Levo Gen 2 Which GPS computer for Levo

[phlodge]

Currently have a Wahoo Bolt which is becoming moody and regularly freezes.
I like the functionality of a dedicated GPS computer rather than use my phone, so looking for other options and recommendations beyond Wahoo.

1. I like the integration with my Levo and the data it gives me.
2. I like having the ability to download maps and routes as on my Wahoo.
3. A decent screen size is important, so ideally at least 2 inches or more.
4. I will use it for more off road than commuting on main roads.

Any help and direction would be most appreciated.
Thank You.

Was looking at the 530, cant see a mention on the Garmin website so hope you dont mind me asking .. will the 530 intergrate with the Levo and give me battery life %, cadence etc.
Thanks

Yes, you can show battery % and support mode using Ebike filed datafield from @JanCapek, all other data (cadence, speed etc.) can be shown by adding bike as a sensor ...

Hi, thanks for the image .. I assume the Rear Gear 12/12 field is for electronic gears.

Yes, AXS.

Just a quick question regarding the Garmin 530 and the Ebike Field app.
Am I right in assuming I don’t need to buy the additional Garmin sensor pack if as you say I add the bike as a sensor.
Which is what I do with my Wahoo.
In other words I only need the Garmin head unit and not the bundle pack which is an extra £90
Thanks

Yes, your Levo already has all the sensors built-in.

Yes, AXS.

How do you setup AXS on Garmin ?

 

[salko]

You add AXS as a sensor and then you can display it as datafield.

out of curiosity does it save the data in the .fit file?

 

[salko]

If you mean if data about current gear is saved into .fit file, I don't know and I doubt it. It is certainly not displayed in GC, on the other hand you can display battery % and support mode in GC if you send Ebike datafiled app author a small donation ...

EDIT: apparentely it does save gear change events in fit file, but it seems that the gear number data is missing:

I dig a bit deeper into this and yes! There is all gear data in the .fit file but GC does not support it, if you upload your .fit file to axs.sram.com you can get gear data displayed in a diferent reports like this:

Curious, Sram 11-50T ?? 10-50... ??

 

[salko]

It's 11-50T (Sram PG-1230).
