All these added features on a 3.5" screen, for around $450. I see a convergence in capabilities between a dedicated bike computer/navigation tool and cell phones.
I recently purchased another Ulefone armored cell phone with 1/2 the battery size as my Armor 24, (and about half the weight) to use for navigation on bikepacking trips that are less than 4 days long. ($170 USD, after coins, and coupons with free shipping.) Cell phones have big screens, and you can download many navigation and route recording apps. Strava, RidewithGPS, Trailforks, Google maps, Gaia GPS, onX, download offline maps.
These days, I use my IGS800 for my training rides, recording shorter fun rides, and to download routes to it for riding longer organized rides, or new backcountry routes that are routed and planned ahead of time on a computer.
For multiday rides, the small 2.5" to 3.5" screens just don't cut it for displaying all the information I like to see while riding a backcountry off-road course. On these rides, the IGS800 becomes the turn-by-turn navigator, and back-up route recorder. I use my Ulefone with RidewithGPS to navigate the route in detail, and to determine what the terrain is further ahead on the course. (Climbs, descents, resupply locations, water stops...)
Aa my 3rdback up navigation device, I can always use my regular call phone for navigation. I keep my cell phone in airplane mode, or turned off on my long trips. the majority of the time there is little to no cell service between resupply points.
If something happens where I am too far off-course (very seldom does this occur these days) I can open up other navigation apps to help resolve navigation problems. This is still very very difficult, on every brand small screened bike computer.)
Perhaps if this Binavi Ultra had been released when I purchased my IGS800, I would have purchased it. At this point in time, I will keep using my IGS800 until it really becomes outdated, or fails.
