need help activating turn by turn nav on wahoo bolt
I uploaded a couple of GPX files into my bolt via my phone. It seems to have transferred over but when I open the route I don't get any kind of navigation or turn-by-turn. I was hoping for directions to the start of my route and then by turn nav throughout
looking for recommendations on how to trouble shoot.

Where did you get the GPX files from and were they rides or routes? To get turn by turn the download has to be a route created by Strava or RideWithGPS. I haven't been able to get files downloaded from other sites to work with turn by turn on my Bolt. If you downloaded a ride, instead of a route, you won't get turn by turn; at least I've never been able to. If you have the paid version of RWGPS, you can upload a ride to it and convert it to a route, then download it to your Bolt.

To get turn-by-turn from RWGPS you have to create the route in RWGPS and sync your Wahoo Fitness account with RWGPS.
I think the same process applies to Komoot but I've never tried it.
If you create a RWGPS route, download it, and manually upload it to your Wahoo the turn-by-turn won't work. You have to sync your accounts.
It works with the free RWGPS app, but I think you have to manually create the route in RWGPS. I'm not sure.
Also, Wahoo Support is pretty responsive.
