Open ridewithGPS or whichever on your computer.
Click plan route, do your planning.
Click save, click send to phone.
Open rwgps on your phone.
Click on the route you want.
Click navigate.
You can follow the map on your wahoo and you can have your phone give you a fanfare and a woman's voice telling you where to go. At each turn. Trouble is I mostly stuff the phone in my back pocket. When it's there I can't hear what she's saying.

You can do it a few ways:
Using the Wahoo or ELEMNT app on your phone; this will then sync with the head unit.
Using any of your connected accounts: RWGPS, Komoot, Strava, whatever.
You can also use a GPX file - open it in your ELEMNT app and then use it as a route.
I usually use Strava or RWGPS.

It's very simple. Plan in your chosen app. Sync your Wahoo and any routes you have created will be available on the Wahoo.
You don't need to send to phone, open in the planner app etc.
As everything is synced with your Wahoo you have two very simple options to select a route:

- The route will transfer and open on your Bolt
- OR on the Bolt go to Routes
- Scroll to your chosen route and select it
How do I download/transfer a GPX file to the Elemnt app?

In the Elemnt app go to profile > authorised apps then select the app (strava, komoot, rwgps etc) where your routes are stored & they will auto sync with Wahoo.
What's the app called? Cycle.Travel?

I believe you just need to pin a route in RWGPS and it’ll sync to your Wahoo.
Yes Cycle.Travel is a fantastic route planner. It’s run by Richard Fairhurst of this parish and is free to use, with extras available to subscribers. It tends to recommend quieter routes than some route planners and can be configured for only road or gravel routes. Available through website, which is how I use it, or as an app aimed primarily at those using it direct for phone navigation.
