I use MapMyRide for cycling and wanted to know if this band can be installed in such a way that I can read the screen for stats while cycling?

Yes I think so but I have not used it that way yet. I just went to my bike to see if I could strap it to the handlebars and I was able to. So I think it would work. It is really comfortable to wear on my arm and that is how I use it to date, but I too would like to be able to see the map while biking to avoid a wrong turn. An 8 mile route turned into 15 miles because I couldn't see it.

I would say that it cannot. It would require the purchase of a base to clip it on which would defeat the purpose of buying this band. The band works wonderful for activities, and it fits many arm sizes. Some of these people must have reviewed the wrong product, or have arms that are too big to even assume that a band can fit around. The rest are just daydreaming that it didn't fit.

Yes, with a certain display mode. I use the display mode that shows the running time of the track and the current time of day. There is another one that shows the name of the currently playing track but not the time of day.... might be third option. Can't remember.

Hi everybody, first time poster here. I've been using a sort of mapping system by Telenav. It is really useful to me because I can see other people's bike routes and the best part is calculating the calories I can burn. (see it here: http://maps.telenav.com/tnmap/). Just wondering if anybody has a calorie counter they recommend?

I don't look at my screen except to choose mp3s to play. The Garmin 360 gives you the directions aloud so there really is no need to worry about the screen. With that said, you go into the "menu" and choose screen brightness. With the unit being discontinued, you likely won't have access to map updates and customer support may be iffy.I have found though that, even with updates, the unit still is not going to have addresses that cropped up in the last five years. I recommend that, if you will be using the unit occasionally for travel, get this one. If you are going to be using your unit daily and definitely need it because you don't know where you are going, then buy a TomTom or an updated Garmin.

You have to use the ball socket type bracket that snaps around the screen. Then you can snap the screen bracket to a suction cup or friction ball mount available through Garmin.

The data that is downloaded is trip distance, trip time, average speed, max speed, and average cadence. When cycling through the screens you see basic cumulative stats. The Sigma Data Center Software is ok with all of that, but if you purchase a Sigma bike computer that has GPS the software is incredible.

yes, these can display one unit on the screen along with your navigation map. You can choose what it displays -- speed is one of the options, or you can put current heading (N, NE, SW, etc), miles to go to your destination, etc.There also is another "dashboard" screen that displays a speedometer and a bunch of the other numeric values (but no map).Overall a pretty versatile but still user-friendly choice of screens.

Understand that (it appears as if) the "app" is flexible and the units of measure can indeed be changed, however the GPS Pro itself is permanently fixed to read MPH, not Kph. A quick visit to the BAD Elf web site did NOT answer the question either.Here is a link to the owner's manual. I saw no mention of being able to switch units on the device LCD screen.Have a look...http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0227/2953/files/BE-GPS-2200-User-Guide-r1.2.pdf?760

I'm not a good source for to answer your question. I sporadically access My Garmin to check for system and map updates and that's about it. I can only wonder if what you seek is available for a price from Garmin. You might check out either their website or possibly via your My Garmin app.

That is the device I use it with the powercal. It has a particular display quirk that shows a cadence of 255 in a cadence window only when you are stationary, if the bike is in motion the cadence shows the correct number including zero if you stop pedaling. It appears to be a bug in the way the 800 interprets data from the powercal. It does not affect the power displayed or the power and cadence saved in the device after the ride is completed or while in motion. I have tested the powercal against a calibrated computrainer and found it to be within 10% albeit with a 10-20 second delay in the displayed power. It seems to work and display best if used in the 30sec power setting on the 800. That is the device I use it with the powercal.

Yes, I interfaced the unit with OPEN/CPN (OpenCPN | Official OpenCPN Homepage). You also can get CPN from (Active captain.com) I just did a 63 NM trip and it was afreefffantastic. Gives more dat then my Garmin. You can download updated free charts from NOA and charts all over the world. I planned my trip on OpenCPN and the GPS monitored my track. Best $40 spent

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

The short answer is - YES. The long answer, you can actually configure it to show many things while you are doing your physical activities, for example your average heart rate, how long you've been performing the activity etc. You should check out the videos in YouTube that shows you how to use it, very helpful in teaching you learn how to use this heart rate monitor.

You have to upload the data from your watch to a web site run by Papago (this requires creating an account on that site), but you then can download the data as a GPX file from that web site on your computer and upload it to mapmyrun or maymyfitness. I've done this and it works well, when the watch and software are working properly, which is not often (see my separate review).

There is a slide on the back of GPS and the band slides in. Works really well.

You can view your head and the GPS location on the same screen but not sure what is mgrs. sorry.

This watch has no cycling mode, so while you can theoretically bike with it, there's a lot of draw-backs. For example, if you set the pace alerts for a pace appropriate to cycling, then those same alerts will likely be useless while you are running. You have to manually change those alert ranges for running. Similarly, if you go for a ride, the watch will starting telling you that you've set all sorts of personal records (2-minute fast mile!, longest run ever!, etc). I biked with this watch only a few times before deciding I wanted a dedicated bike computer.
