Singletracks and Wahoo are stoked to announce a new feature that makes it super easy to get mountain bike trail maps on your GPS!
Here’s how it works: Add trails you want to ride to your Singletracks trail wish list. (You’ll need to sign up for a free Singletracks account if you don’t have one yet.)
Then, connect your Wahoo account to your Singletracks account as shown below.
In the Wahoo companion app, choose Singletracks from the list of third party apps, then provide your Singletracks account login information. Routes for trails in your wishlist will be sent to your Wahoo GPS.
That’s it!
The Singletracks mission is to share mountain bike information that inspires the most epic adventures yet, and making trail maps easily accessible is a big part of that. In the early days mountain bikers had to fuss with complicated GPX file transfers, so we’re really excited to partner with Wahoo to simplify the process. This way, we can just get out and ride!
If you don’t have a Wahoo GPS, you can shop for one online. Prices start at $249 for GPS units with navigation functionality.

That must be in a feature coming out in an update, my app does not have that option yet.
Same for me: Singletracks is not yet available among the accounts to which I can link.
Make sure you’re running the latest version of the app, which was just updated a few days ago.
Per Wahoo the last update was in December: https://support.wahoofitness.com/hc/en-us/articles/217285397

ELEMNT WF48-2171 – 19 December, 2018
FIXED: Bug causing momentary UI freezes.
You connect your singletracks account in the companion app, not on the GPS itself.

No need to update firmware on the GPS, just the app on your phone.
I cannot get singletracks as a linked option on my ELEMNT app. Is this gonna be an update or am I missing something?
Sorry to be a pain, the last ELEMNT app update of mine showed 4 months ago. Is there anything else I can do? I have a trip planned in 2 weeks and would love to use my wishlist trails.

If you still don’t see the update, it’s possible you’re running an older version of iOS (or Android) that isn’t compatible with the latest Wahoo app, though I kinda doubt that is the case.
The new version of the companion app. version 1.16, became available April 15, 2019. It contains the Singletracks feature. The writer must have been using a pre-release companion app.
Anyway, the new feature is cool!
Just saw that, will be using new features in Bentonville this weekend. Thanks
I have sync Single Tracks with my Wahoo Elmnt Roam (latest version) and Single Traks has sync a ton of routes I never have selected! How can I delete it? Where is the Whistlist in Single Traks?
We’ll take a look and see what’s going on, thanks for the note!
eferrerom, we found a bug that was causing the issue you mentioned. You may need to disconnect your Singletracks account in the Wahoo app, then re-connect to get everything sorted.
I noticed you don’t have any trails on your trail wishlist yet, so you won’t see any maps synced until you’ve added one or more.
