Although a gpx track remains depicted on the Osmand map screen, to my knowledge, you can't actually connect a new series of waypoints to a gpx track; however, it's pretty easy to start back onto your track after plotting a diversion. Just long press anywhere onto your track and go. I've used that feature while on vacation in Athens recently.
Thanks, Bob.
I'm a big fan of Osmand - it's been my emergency navigator for years. Take it out, see where I am, put in my destination and off I go! The only problem is that I either use it on a tablet (preferred option) or my phone, and neither is terribly practical for the times that I want to use it - typically foul weather, off-road, passing through a city or a combination of those.
Since I got the Wahoo, I'll take the gpx generated by Osmand, load it in the Wahoo app and then on to the Elemnt. I'm touring in Europe and there's hardly ever an issue with a phone/data signal. However, I'll be going further afield soon and would like to solve the issue.so as not to be dependant on wifi/data access.
Worst case scenario, I'll just use OSmand, but I'd prefer to be using the Elemnt.
I've been in touch with HooToo and am waiting a response to some questions. Finding a bricks'n'morter shop in NL that has one is difficult.
Thanks for all your help
