Connecting ELEMNT with Ride with GPS

Pair with your Phone

Grab your phone and make sure you have the Wahoo ELEMNT app installed and paired with your device. For more on this, check out Wahoo's support page. 

Authorize RWGPS Access

Next, sign in to Ride with GPS inside the Wahoo ELEMNT app. 

  • Launch the app and tap Profile
  • Go to Authorized Apps on iOS / Connected Apps on Android
  • Select Ride with GPS
  • Enter the email address and password that you use to sign in to 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.
  • If your password isn't accepted, use our website to double check your password or set a new one. 

Once you've set up your Wahoo ELEMNT account with Ride with GPS, you can automatically sync routes and recorded activity data seamlessly between your Ride with GPS account and Wahoo device. Simply clicking Send to Wahoo or saving routes to your Pinned Library will automatically sync routes to your Wahoo device.

Send routes to Wahoo from the mobile app

If you have not yet connected your Wahoo ELEMNT account, you'll need to follow the steps outlined above. If you've already established a connection between Ride with GPS and Wahoo ELEMNT, you'll see a message that your route has been synced.

You can learn more about sending routes to your devices in the mobile app here: Send to Device on Mobile.

Sync Routes

Once you've authorized your Ride with GPS and Wahoo ELEMNT accounts, sync your Wahoo device to bring over any new routes. This will bring over all unarchived routes saved in your Route Library and any routes that are saved to your Pinned Library.

  • Press the page button in the lower right corner of your Wahoo ELEMNT screen until you see a map, and route appears just above the lower left button. Note: On some Wahoo devices, you'll see three dots instead of route.
  • Press the left button to choose route.
  • Use the arrow buttons to scroll down to the "Synced X Days Ago" line. Once highlighted, press the middle button to sync your routes. Note: ELEMNT will not automatically fetch any new routes, so make sure to sync any time you want to push routes over!
  • Select a route to start navigation.

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. 

FAQ

  • Will my recorded activities 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 Wahoo device. The list of routes you see on your Wahoo's 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.
  • How do I remove routes from my Wahoo device?
    • Once you've removed routes from your Pinned Library, or archived or deleted them from your Route Library, these routes will be removed when you next sync your Wahoo by following the sync steps outlined above. 
  • Why don't I see a Send to Wahoo button when I view a route on your website?
    • If you see an orange button with a different option, select the three-dot menu next to this button> Send to a different device.
  • I need more help with my Wahoo ELEMNT, where do I go?
