Has anyone used the Strava app with this for INDOOR TRAINING? Does it ignore GPS data and use speed data from Wahoo instead?

Strava app on iOS doesn't have indoor mode. You can use cyclemeter, which does have an indoor setting for trainers.

From what I know about the app is that you need to Carry your phone with you when you run. With the watch you upload the data to Nike running. You can probably manually enter the data into your run keeper if you like that for tracking. But the bike website has a route map and such. I personally use the running2win app to track my mileage so it doesn't matter what type of gps watch I use when I run.

There is a beta of the "Wahoo Fitness" app for Android... It only works on 4.3 and devices with bluetooth 4. It's better to wait a while and check Wahoo's website!

I'm a cyclist only and got the 910XT since the multi-page displays are both large & easily programmable. I mostly use the 910XT for cycling indoors at spin classes. However I have used the foot pod for walking indoors on the track. I have a bad knee and can't run at all. However I understand it works for running indoors also. Outside it uses the GPS - although I don't know how it would measure your stride - but it does work for speed & distance. I hope that helps.

Hi Poly, I am still getting it up and running but pretty certain that it in itself only measures HR. But why it does that is handy for us who love using our smart phones for strava etc is it will translate all the ANT+ from my garmin tools (Cadence/speed sensor, Power Metre, foot pod) into a bluetooth 4.0 signal for your smart phone to read. Some of these are more or less effective on different Apps, Viii own app will receive and show all this information but for instance Strava won't show reading from the power meter. As i said its still new to me but overall Im happy with it. I looked at DCRainmakers review of the product before buying it and he goes very in depth if you want more info. Cheers

My husband has a Garmin watch that he loves for training purposes. You might be better off with one of those types of products. It uses GPS to track distance traveled and gives you your pace and other things. It works with software and you can see the map of your hike and other neat features. Of course, that will cost more, but might be more useful to you.

I've had the Loop since Christmas.... it does not track distances. I use the Strava App to track my distance

Jarv has a list of apps that this device works with on their site (www.jarvmobile.com/support_JRV-HRM1285.asp) and, yes, this will work with Strava Cycling and Strava Run.

I currently use it with my Strava app with Bluetooth at the same time I am running Ant+ with my MapMyRide app. The data has been consistent and reliable using Ant+ with while road cycling and Trainer cycling. I am not sure if compatible with gym machines. I hope this helps.

I use it for weight training, the elliptical (when I have to use it), running and Insanity/Asylum/T25 videos. I am a long distance runner by nature and habit. I have had no issues switching among activities with accurate heart rate, time, calories etc.

I suppose, it should work, because there is no reason not to work. GPS works everywhere. After your activity (run/cycle/swim/etc), you just upload your track to the web site and review the track on the online map (such as TomTomSports or RunKepper)

You might want to check out Ascent from Montbello Software. Mac native and runs circles around Garmin Training Center for the 205/305. I'm using it for my 405, but only after exporting a file in windows from GTC and importing it into Ascent.

It works the same way with all of them. What is different is the analytics performed with the app using the Mio or any other monitor's data. And, what is preferred by you. Any bluetooth receiver captures the data. My favorite is RunMeter. Milo's own app was not enticing at all. Mapmyrun and Strava work well. My bias towards RunMeter is their easy interface and sophisticated analytics, plus extreme customization. I pay for the Elite subscription at $5/year. Any app with the word run in it also works for numerous other activities. So RunMeter and Maymy____ also do walk, cycle, hike, ski, etc. It works the same way with all of them.

From what I have read and from my own personal use..i use this mainly for cardio of any kind (indoor or out). The wahoo app is great for tracking distance, avg. heart rate, calories and a few other metrics. In regards to using a heart rate monitor while weight training, i believe any heart rate monitor will not give you the metrics you are seeking. There is a lot of research going on with heart rate monitors and weight training, so i would read up on some of the cutting edge studies in medical journals etc.

These answers seem to contradict the listing and the advertising on the Jarv's box which says "Tracks heart rate, distance, pace, and more!" Also, if you use Runtastic Pro, you can use the the History Add function to download length of time and Calories burned, so will the right app download more?

I use it on my trainer in conjunction with wahoo fitness app and the speed/cadence sensor.

Thanks BAN. Yeah I'm a hobbyist when it comes to cycling, so I'm sure the GPS will be able to pick me up on the roads . I know there are apps and such for Android / iPhone that do similar things, but I think this looks like a nice unit.
