Wahoo equivalent of Garmin Connect, Lezyne GPS Root or Hammerhead Dashboard?
You are correct, Valhalla is used for routing. Maps are rendered on the ELEMNT, BOLT and ROAM with mapsforge, BOLT2 with vtm. To look at map files there is cruiser cruiser (mapsforge) and cruiser-gl (vtm). Create updated maps with wahooMapsCreator. There is also some documentation how to add POI's or make a custom theme.
