- Enter the email address and password that you use to sign into Ride with GPS. Note: if you use a Facebook or Apple ID to log in to RWGPS, you'll need to add an email and password to your profile in order to log in on Wahoo. You can do this on your web profile under Settings.

Sync Routes
Once you're authorized, it's time to sync! This will bring over all the routes from your Route Library, and anything you've pinned to your account.
If you want to limit the amount of routes brought over, check out how to archive routes and keep them on your profile, but not on your Wahoo.
- Press the page button in the lower right corner of the ELEMNT screen until you see a map, and route appears just above the lower left button.
- Press the left button to choose a route.
- Press the middle button to sync your routes. Note: ELEMNT will not automatically fetch any new routes, so make sure to sync anytime you want to push routes over!
- Select a route to start navigation.
FAQ
- Will my saved rides sync back to Ride with GPS?
- Yes, as long as you authorize this during setup.
- Will these routes be available offline?
- Yes, as long as they are successfully loaded to your GPS. The list of routes you see on the routes page have all downloaded to the device and are ready to navigate without a wifi connection. However, you will need to connect your ELEMNT to wifi in order to sync new routes over.
- I need more help with my Wahoo ELEMNT, where do I go?
- Contact Wahoo Support for help with your device.
