Wahoo Bolt/TBT Navigation Using PlotarouteFORUMS HOME SEARCH FORUMS

John,

This is a reply i got some time ago on a Youtube channel regarding my query from another user:

It's because Strava doesn't add waypoints containing directional clues in the route. Strava just creates a file containing a bunch of gps coördinates. Translating those gps coördinates back to a file that does contain waypoints means you'll first have to plot those coördinates back on a map again, then analyse the route all on the device itself. There are lots of things that could go wrong here. First of all, there might be lots of differences in the maps that Strava (google) uses and the maps that Wahoo uses (openMaps). The positions of the maps might be off by a few meters, one maps may be newer than the other, one might know of a bike path while the other doesn't, etc, etc. Then there are also lot's of unforeseen situations. Like Stava is still beta, and sometimes the route you draw goes from one side of the road to the other side. Will this also creates a shift in the coördinates? And how do you want the wahoo Elemnt to direct you with this? Unless Strava adds their own waypoints to the files and solves their bugs in their tool, TBT nav is not gonna happen.

Not sure if that means anything to you or not John, any chance Plotaroute could facilitate this?

Regards,

Mike.

I'm afraid I'm not familiar with this device Michael.  Anyone else have any experience with this?

Hi,

Quick question, will the Wahoo Bolt offer turn by turn navigation if I was to plot out a route using this website instead of ridewithgps or kamoot? I don't know why the bolt does not offer TBT if a route is planned using say Strava route planner(would bit be anything to do with cue points??)

Regards,

Mike.
