All of this plus the screen is more readable, it's way, way easier to use whilst hurtling down a mountain (actual buttons) , it's considerably lighter whilst having longer battery, it never falls off the mount onto the road (where the screen promptly cracks).
You could use a phone (I did for a bit) but the experience is worse in every single dimension. Until, of course, you get really lost and need Google maps...
Actually, I have also found it extremely useful when navigating unmarked trail races. It's small and light enough to keep in your pocket and the mapping beats anything on a GPS watch. I use it to track my progress too, no problems with elevation for me but there isn't much of that in the UK anyway.
I used a Garmin for about 5 years but I got the Bolt last Summer and I have found it considerably more reliable. The worldwide maps are great too. However, on the basis of the complete disrespect for OSS I will stop recommending it to others and I won't be buying another. Shame.
