Break free and discover new roads, paths, and trails with the new ELEMNT ROAM\u2019s onboard Smart Navigation and an easy-to-read color display. With these new features, there is no excuse not to arrive home with a story to tell.<\/p>\n

Make the most of your ELEMNT ROAM<\/a> by using these Smart Navigation features:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

Navigation to the Start of Your Route<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Select a route that starts within riding distance of you, and the ROAM will automatically give you directions to the start of your desired route. Do this by:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Select a route from your synched routes on the Map Page<\/li>\n
  • Select “Yes” when asked to “Route to Start”<\/li>\n
  • Start your ride by following the blue chevrons. You are on your selected route once the Chevrons turn black.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Tip: <\/strong>Use this when traveling in an unfamiliar place and getting to the start of a group ride or solo ride. We have all been there, sometimes just getting to the ride can be the most difficult part of the ride.<\/p>\n

    \n

    \"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

    If You Miss a Turn<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    The ELEMNT ROAM will bring you back on track with smart navigation that guides you back to your chosen route as efficiently as possible if you take a wrong turn. Do this by:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Go off route.<\/li>\n
    • Follow the blue chevrons until you are back on your desired route.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Tip:<\/strong> This is useful when exploring on a whim and you want to keep a good reference to where you are in relation to your original route. Explore but know how to get out of there.<\/p>\n

      \n

      Add a New Destination<\/strong>\"\"<\/strong><\/h2>\n

      With the ELEMNT ROAM, you can add new destinations without having to pull out your phone. You can reroute to previously saved points or any spot you pick on the map. If you need to end your ride early, you can select “Retrace to Start” or “Route to Start” and the ROAM will either reverse your current route or create a new bike-friendly route to get you back to your starting location. Do this by:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • Select “Route” from the Map Page<\/li>\n
      • Scroll down and select “Take Me Too” then select from a list of saved locations or “Location On Map” where you will then be able to scroll and pan the “target” to your desired destination. Returning to the start of your ride is equally as simple:<\/li>\n
      • Select “Route” from the Map Page<\/li>\n
      • Select “Retrace to Start” or “Route to Start”<\/li>\n
      • Follow the black chevrons to your the starting location of your ride.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Tip: <\/strong>Saved locations are great for accessing your favorite spots. This could be a coffee house, water stop or that vista you found on that one ride and want to be sure you know how to get back.<\/p>\n
