I loaded up my ~53km route today and I had an idea where I was going. I deviated from the original route (took a different road, which ultimately merged into the road from the planned route) from the very beginning but shortly after that got back to the planned route. Wahoo kept rerouting me as usual, but previously when this happened the moment I returned back to the planned route, everything was fine. Not this time. For the whole 2 hours ride Wahoo kept rerouting me back to the point of deviation from the original route and it could not figure out that I was on the same planned route. I donāt expect re-routing to be working flawlessly, but not being able to properly identify when I am back on track is a huge bug in my opinion. Has anyone else experienced this?
Same issue here,
you go off the (in my case imported route from Komoot), the elemnt keeps telling me to turn around to that exact point. In other cases it didnt āceckā part of the route I went trough so it told me to turn aroundā¦ extremely annoying, so far I dont use the bolt to navigate anymoreā¦ sucks
Had similar experiences during my last two rides this week. Both were loops with the first and last 30 km of the ride basically using the same streets.
On the first ride I had the same issue as described by the two users. Small deviation from route and then endless rerouting to the point of deviation, although I was long back on the correct track.
Second incident was even more annoying. I had some unplanned deviations due to roadwork in the city. Element rerouted and I was still following the black arrows. Later I realized that Element had reversed the route of the loop. I followed my initial plan (less aggressive 1300 m climb). Element rerouted and rerouted and was totally useless (except tracking the tour). Was no fun and took me probably an extra hour to find my way by checking on my phone again and again.
My experience is that auto rerouting doesnāt work very well so I turned it off. If I have to deviate from the route I tend to just zoom the map out a bit and manually navigate a path that will rejoin the route later on. Once I get back on the track my V1 Roam picks up the route with no problem and all is well.
Not ideal but it works for me.
Hi,
I also experienced the same issue, which version do you have?
mine is running v1.82.1 (11432), Do you know how to go downgrade to previous version?
cheers
btw the ios version from element boltv2 is WA55-17028;
with the previous version; I did not noticed the issue;
Not had this on my Roam v1, but why not just end the route then reload it?
I ve not tried, so far I removed the option recalculate routeā¦
How do i turn off rerouting ?
i has been a nightmare. If i try to take a shortcut on a route it just goes blue and fails to recognise when i get back on the original route. !!!
Have you tried what I suggested above? I.e. once youāre back on your route, end the route then reload it. Also, raise a ticket as this may be something that needs patching in the next update if many people are experiencing it.
In the Elemnt app go to settings, scroll down to the āLive Track and Mapsā section and there is a toggle for āautomatically rerouteā. At least there is for my V1 Roam so I assume itās the same for the Bolt.
Yes I tried this on two routes wher i had the problem.
on both occasions it would not let me join the route part way through, it wanted to redirect me, who knows where to. On the 2nd occasion the data page would not load only the map.
it retained my total route data, but i had to use google maps on my phone to find my way back !!
What a pain! Rerouting is one of the main improvements Iāve noticed since I got a Roam v1 to replace a Garmin 530, so Wahoo can definitely do it, and well in my experience.
I got this message from Wahoo support and so far it worked for me:
The Back on Track feature should work automatically any time a route is loaded and if the map has been correctly updated. Once ELEMNT ROAM/BOLT detects youāve gone off-course, it should quickly calculate the shortest path to get you Back on Track.
Please follow the next steps:
- Once the device is paired with the Elemnt App, go to settings and scroll down to Wifi. Please add your Wifi.
Please, ensure your Wifi respects the following: Wifi Issues - Double check on both your phone and BOLT that Wifi is correctly connected.
- At this point, go to Manage Maps delete all the unused maps and re-download the only preferred Map (ex. Belgium). Downloading a new map can take up to 15 minutes depending on the connection used. I would recommend not locking the phone during the process.
After this, please perform a Gps calibration:
- Turn the Bolt on while outdoors with a clear view to the sky
- After the warming up process is completed, using the page button, scroll to the map page of the Bolt
- Initially you will see āacquiring GPSā in the top corner of the maps screen
- Once acquiring GPS is no longer visible, press start ride
Once you have completed these steps please double check that you have enabled the āReroute Automaticallyā option within the settings tab of the app, under the heading RIDE.
thank you
it was ok when in Belgium, iāll try today in England
