Sync Routes
Once you're authorized your Ride with GPS and Wahoo ELEMNT accounts, you can trigger a sync to bring over any new routes. This will bring over all the routes saved in your Route Library, and anything you've pinned to your account or Sent to 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. Note: On some Wahoo devices, you'll see three dots instead of route.
- Press the left button to choose a 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 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.
- How do I remove routes from my Wahoo device?
- Once you've unpinned any routes, or archived or deleted them from your route archive, these routes will be removed when you next sync your Wahoo by following the sync steps outlined above.
- I need more help with my Wahoo ELEMNT, where do I go?
- Contact Wahoo Support for help with your device.
