The new custom alerts can be enabled/disabled as required once you have created a few; and they are added in the first place in the ELEMNT app>Workout>Custom Alerts. You can even use emojis if you feel creative.

Maybe finally they’ll let us choose/prioritize data sources like in Garmin + get us something like climb pro 😉 I have some concerns regarding responsiveness of device after 1st button press this imho shall be resolved soon.
a recent firmware update was supposed to improve responsiveness to button presses on the older models?
there is a forward elevation profile when navigating…not as detailed as climbpro of course
I am on element bolt v2 and the responsiveness vs v1 is much slower. It’s only for 1st touch after starting.
Any details on what’s improved for Varia support?
