Send to Device | Ride With GPS Help

The Send to Device feature allows you to send a route directly to your smartphone, Garmin Edge device, or Wahoo GPS so you can get rolling quickly and easily. The Send to Device wizard walks you through the process. Depending on which device you use, the steps will be slightly different.

Send to Device on the website

To get started, click “Send to Device” on any route and follow the on-screen prompts.

More Export Options

Click the menu ( ) button to see more export options.

Select from FIT, TCX, GPX, and more file types for export.

FIT, TCX Course, and GPX Track exported will change the Send to Device button to match your last export type and will be remembered for future exports.

Ride with GPS Mobile App

When you send a route to iPhone or Android, we will send a notification to your phone. To access the route, just tap on the notification.

If you want to access the sent route later, it will be pinned to your Ride with GPS account. To access the route from within the app, just visit your routes tab and tap on the Pinned filter to display a list of all pinned routes.

Garmin Edge devices

Most Garmin Edge devices will get a TCX file downloaded to their computer. Connect your Garmin device to your computer, and drag your route file to Garmin > NewFiles. Then, detach the device from your computer, turn it on, and the route will be ready to navigate under your Garmin’s Courses menu.

If you have another Garmin that is not an Edge series, learn more about exporting routes to Garmin Devices.

Wahoo GPS

For Wahoo devices, the sent route can be located on the Wahoo device under Starred routes:

Go to the routes page on the ELEMNT.

Press the lower button on the right side of the device to select sort.

Press the sort button to scroll through available sort criteria until you see starred.

This will bring up a list of starred routes. These are your pinned routes.
