Thats not an Elemnt thing.... that an Iphone thing. Until I started using the Wahoo app, I never turned on the refresh.
I didn't know that background refresh applied to both wifi and cellular. Fair point. However, why did my rides get logged when I had background refresh turned off? It looks like all rides but the one ride where I used the lap function have full GPS tracks.
I have been used to selectively disabling background refresh for individual apps. I just found the global control for background refresh in settings-> general. I can try that.
