I don't think so, no. You import routes over wifi through Strava or RWGPS, but RWGPS is the only way if you want TBT navigation cues. You can do that without connecting to a phone, but you can also use your phone as a wifi hotspot if you aren't near a network. To my knowledge there's no way of taking a GPX file directly from your phone and installing it on the ELEMNT.
DarrenFranks-
Hmm so on the fly routing is going to be worse than with the 1000?

Even doing it via rwgps and wifi hotspot is way ahead of Garmin in functionality.

As for opening GPX files directly, I've read on the Elemnt user forum that you can open a GPX file in an email attachment in iOS and tap "Open with" to the Elemnt companion app, then sync to device.

Can you send routes direct from phone to the ELEMNT without a wifi connection? Was slightly confused whether that was/wasn't possible based on stuff I'd read online.
