Will this work whilst using an indoor bike trainer? If so what data will the app receive? Thanks.

Yes. I use it inside on a bike trainer and use the cyclops app Virtual Trainer. The system measures cadence and speed and calculates power.

Maybe; magnets on wheel & crank must pass the same place where pickup mounts to the frame. The crank on my mountain bike sets too far forward so wasn't able to use it. If it meets this qualifying it will measure your wheels speed (MPH) and your cranks cadence in RPMs.

No. It is not a GPS device. Nor does it "reflect" map application information (but that would be nice) . It only "reflects " performance oriented data from a compatible App like: wahoo or strava; time, speed, cadence, pace, rpm, heart rate, etc.

i use it when i ride my bike. but like Sean Palmeter answered, it will not track your info right it helps but not accurate. i would reccomend going on polarusa.com and look at the products for cycling. i hope i helped you.

It doesn't connect to the computer at all - that cable is only a charger. That said, I haven't used Strava. But it sounds like you don't really want to manually enter data?

I havnt tried it but it works with strava and wahoo fitness iPhone app I even connected to my laptop for trainerroad and it worked

Yes but the software for moving data to your pc likely won't work. When I first got this i was dissappointed because the screen didn't seem to work. It turns out the unit just doesn't function well in 15-20 degree weather. When the screen blurs now I just cycle though the settings and it works. Okay for the price - very good for touring or ultra long rides because it uses a AA battery which gives about 8 hrs of power. As of now, I am satisfied given the price.

I'm pretty sure it transmits real time via bluetooth. The chest strap doesn't have any storage capacity to transfer the workout stats once your done.

I can verify that it works with MapMyFitness on the Samsung Galaxy S3. Other users in the answers say it works with i-gotU Sports, IpBike App, Wahoo Fitness (BETA) and IpSensorMan (BETA). I can also confirm that it currently does not work with Endomondo or Strava for Android. (You may find claims that Endomondo works, but it only works on the iPhone.)

I put a speed sensor on the back wheel last winter for time on the trainer. It worked well! I have not tried it on the road so I can not speak to that. The heart monitor would read 0 on occasion if I sat up straight for too long.

No señor, this is NOT wireless. But all bike computers use wheel sensors (I believe).

If the specific Indoor Bike has an Ant+ compatible speed sensor then yes. Otherwise your speed and distance will always be zero as the unit relies on GPS to calculate speed and distance.

check the app store for the torque application. I used this with my GS3. It's not fast enough to do the real time data on the road, but it worked to disable my wife's reverse beeping and seatbelt reminders on her Prius.

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)

Hi Brian. I just bought the mounting kit and is a great accessory. I was very pleased with it. I don't use iBike software, I use my iPhone with Sports Tracker software. Regards, Wlademir (from Brazil)

Can't answer Davids question because the gadget never would sync any data. Right now, it is on a shelf in the closet and I no longer use the website. Really a bad, stupid purchase.

Sorry, for my last response. It should work fine on your bike. Be careful on how long you leave it activated without running the bike. Two weeks could drain the battery. I just wish that the range would be greater.

Only if GPS speed is not good enough for you...Otherwise it pulls it form the phone gps. You DO need it for indoor (trainer) use.
