Currently, I need wifi/data to transfer from OSmand to the App, thereafter it's Bluetooth, buth [B
Wahoo have assured me that this will not be the case in the future.[/B]

What that means is that the Elemnt used in conjunction with OSMand offline will be able to create routes on the fly without any need for Internet access.

Sorry for dragging up an old thread, but wanted to update some information.

Wahoo have dropped the priority on making the processing of routes (on the app) independent of data/wifi.
The ticket item was closed, I'm told it's now reopened, so if anyone sees the value in this, please contact Wahoo.

Currently to create/process a route the app has to ping the cloud - meaning data/wifi is required.
If that need to ping was dropped, you can create a route on the fly without going online - assuming you have offline maps on your phone/tablet. It's doable, just not a priority :-(
