But if I’m understanding this correctly, all you need is for the bike computer and the tablet to be on the same subnet so they can connect. You just happen to be on a network that has to internet connection. If so, you should be able to connect using the method described for the Nano. If you do have an internet connection then you can use the standard means.

What i I don’t know is if you can make that work with only the phone and the Elemnt. It should work with the phone as hotspot and both the tablet and the Elemnt connected to the hotspot/phone WiFi network.

Hope that that made sense. I’d test it for you but I’m on my way out of town and can’t do it until later this week.

Thanks, John.
I tried playing around with Hotspots last night but had no success. Some of the hotspot apps are rubbish.
I think, even if I do get to make a hotspot and connect the Elemnt to the phone or tablet, the issue will still be with the transferring of files. There doesn't seem to be a method in android to do that.
I'm away for the next 3 weeks, so won't have a chance to play around anymore with this.
I appreciate all your input.

Many thanks
