Just have to say I've planned a long 60m route, saved & uploaded to my new Wahoo Elemnt Bolt as TCX Course file & everything works fine. The turn-by-turn routing is clear, accurate & vastly better than the RidewithGPS app recommended by Wahoo. Well done Cycle.Travel

That’s really encouraging - thanks! I’ll put a note on the download screen to suggest that TCX courses are the best format for Wahoo units.
I've uploaded TCX courses to Wahoo Elemnt Roam and after 15 cues all the remaining cues are shown as the same distance. Am I doing something wrong?
Hm, that seems odd. Could you give an example route where this is happening?
Hi Richard, Here is an example but it occurs on all my routes: https://cycle.travel/map/journey/136157
I think this is probably a bug with the Wahoo. Looking at the TCX file I can’t see anything that would indicate that. It might be relevant that your route crosses over itself round about the 15th cue point… I wonder if the Wahoo is getting confused and thinking you’re on the return leg rather than the outbound, or something like that. Worth trying a firmware update on the Wahoo to see if it’s fixed (they appear to push out bug-fixes fairly often!).
Hi Richard,
Thank you for trying to assist. It has nothing to do with routes crossing over as I tried it with non-crossing routes with the same problem.
I have experimented and discovered that the problem arises when I tick the box announce turns in advance. By clearing this tick the download works fine.
Problem solved!
Ah, that’s great – thanks for letting me know. I’ll experiment with the “announce turns” option and see if I can figure out what’s going on there!
