The TR mobile app is not meant of āoutsideā use. It does not capture GPs data. You will need to run another GPS enabled app (like Strava or Wahoo activity apps) in the phone (in parallel to the TR app) if you want that info.
But the more common solution is a dedicated GPS bike head unit like a Garmin or Wahoo.
Weāve got outside workouts synced to Garmin headunits now! 
Wahoo coming soonā¦
Thereās more info about there here: https://support.trainerroad.com/hc/en-us/articles/360024352332-Outside-Workouts
Did you have any joy getting an answer out of Wahooās CEO as to when we will see workouts on their head units? Thanks.
I know but i donāt own a Garmin headunit (yet) :).
Iāve got a Vivoactive 3 and i can push the workout to that unit. Unfortunately i canāt connect my power meter to itā¦
Guess i have to work with the TR app for now until i have a Edge 530 
Hi Colin. You might want to try making workouts using ergdb.org. It is VERY quick and easy. You do have to upload them by using a micro USB cable, but they stay on the device indefinitely, so you can easily use them again later.
I realize this might very soon be obsolete, as it does look like TR/Wahoo integration is very closeā¦
Wow that site looks like a blatant TR knockoffā¦blue on black, huh?
Yea, I was just about to set things up using ergdb until I saw the Wahoo announcement, so frankly Iāve been lazy and just waiting all summer But Iām still really glad that someone opened up the Wahoo device for us for the long-term.
Honestly, it was the biggest disappointment I had with the Bolt when I realized how complicated it was to setup an outdoor workout. But the feature works so well once you do load it - I couldnāt ask for more. And I wouldnāt trade the stability of the Bolt for the Garmin 520 headaches so many friends had. Have used it for thousands of miles and never a lost or dropped ride, nonsense data, or a dead battery - it just works all the time, and with Varia support added, I have no motivation to risk a 530. Maybe a ROAM when the price comes inline with the rest of the market!
If you are doing a workout, and following a route, what happens when you come across a Strava Live segment? (not sure if that has happened to you yet)
I donāt bother and never have with segments so I am not sure.
Once the cool down is complete, just donāt hit the lap button, the Garvin will just continue to record and save as normal.
Or if you do hit the lap button, donāt save the ride and press the start/stop button and it will continue to record.
I did the same thing the first time I tried an outdoor ride.
Thanks! Worked like a treat today.
On wahoo, you can set it to always ignore segments while running a workout, or if not, it will just pop up on bottom like normal, and segment screen will be available if you want to see it.
Must be a pain to be at the whims of a third-party. Point them in the direction of Rodger Wahoo.
Just checked the iOS App Store and I got great news: Wahoo companion app is updated with TrainerRoad workouts support !
Not showing on my Android yetā¦
Yeah I think this may be a āback in TRās courtā thing now - I donāt see any way to authorize Wahoo/TR from the opposite apps yet
Yes, Wahoo release notes page for ELEMNT firmware doesnāt say thereās any update yet. It should appears very soon.
In French, sorry :
