As an update to the Take me to function of legacy ELEMNT computers and the ELEMNT app, you can now create a one-time-use route from your current location to a location selected in Apple or Google maps by sharing that location to the Wahoo app.
Requirements
- An ELEMNT ACE, ROAM 3, or BOLT 3
- Your computer paired and actively connected to the Wahoo app
- GPS acquired by the computer
- An internet data connection (cell data or Wi-Fi) for your phone
How To
- Select a location on your preferred map app (search a name, location, or address, or tap to select on map*.
* In the EU, when using Google Maps, location must be selected from address, rather than GPS coordinates/tap on map. GPS-location oriented details do not parse correctly for transfer. - From the location panel, select the Share** button.
**Specifically, do NOT select Directions. You are sharing a location to the Wahoo app, to which the Wahoo app/computer will create a one-time-use/temporary route. - Select the Wahoo app logo (as the app you wish to share the location to).
If the Wahoo app logo does not appear in the list, select ... / More - When the Wahoo app opens and asks 'Share location to ELEMNT?', select Navigate.
- A route will be loaded onto the ACE, from you current starting point to the shared location.
Notes/Troubleshooting
- Your computer must have GPS acquired, or the Wahoo app/computer cannot create a route, because your current location is unknown.
- Your phone must have a cell data connection, so that the Wahoo app can process/produce the route.
- You have to select the 'Share' button for a location (address, business name, etc)
- Not 'Directions' or attempt to share a set of Directions to that location.
- The route created by this process is one-time-use / temporary. If you wish to create a more permanent route, create a route from the history of this ride, once completed, or sync a route created in a third party app / service.
