If you don't see the route you took from the Wahoo recording on Strava, you may have either set it to indoor mode or didn't give it location permission.
I agree that the Wahoo app looks to have a TON of data available. I just seem to have issues accessing it. For example, while recording activity I can see multiple pages of information. Once I stop and save the activity, I'm able to see about half of what I had before and can't get back to the previous screens.
I checked my settings in the Wahoo app and confirmed that GPS is turned on. It is recording (somewhere) my travels, since it can tell me how far I rode, how long I was moving, and it will pause if I slow below 2mph. It's just that when I look at the "Map" of my ride, it just shows a little movement at my start / stop point, but none of my route.
I did take a ride over the weekend, where I only ran Wahoo and not Strava. It pushed the basic info to my Strava account, but again did not show a route.
My Google Fu has failed me thus far on figuring this out, but I'll keep digging. By all accounts that I've read, it SHOULD be able to track my ride and push that to Strava. For now, I guess I'll run both apps (battery life hasn't been an issue yet on my 1-3 hour rides). I like some of the social aspects of Strava and bragging rights with friends when we're hitting certain segments - yes, I can be that shallow.
