Elemnt Roam... Get me home!!!
Elemnt Roam... Get me home!!!
Hi, Today I ended my ride early and wanted my new bike computer (Elemnt Roam) to get me home. I had saved my home address on the computer but it seems it will not work unless I have my phone with me. Is this the case? Thank you for any replies. At my old age I'm not very good with computers and the likes.

Re: Elemnt Roam... Get me home!!!
As I have the Roam I was also interested in this question so I Googled it.
Obviously I have not tried it (but might at the weekend now). The Youtube video seems to suggest there is a "take me to" option which is accessed via the settings. You can then chose the location on the map apparently without access to the phone app.
I shall be interested to see if it works.

I have done this before and found it to work - the route you get sent on may not be what you would have chosen with your favourite mapping software but it's usually reasonable.
You need to be on the map page then select 'route' and either choose your home location or pick somewhere on the map (clunky). If you're mid-ride you might need to end the currently loaded route before you can do this.
I found some instructions here.
