Please put an ANT+ sender in PMs

Post by Renzir » October 6th, 2011, 6:51 am

I row (have a model D) as well as cycle and run. I currently use a Garmin Forerunner 610 and an Edge 800 to track my workouts. All workouts are uploaded to Trainingpeaks,com (and also Garmin Connect). The rowing i also uploaded to C2 online Logbook.

I would be nice if C2 incorporated a ANT+ sender in addition to the reciever that is already in the PM (shows heartrate on the screen). This way i would get power, strokerate and splits on my Edge 800 that lays next to the Erg and logs heartrate. It is to cumbersome to export and convert files from RowPro (as far as I have been told). So when I load up to Trainingpeaks or Garmin Connect everything is in place.

I am pretty new to this, is there an application that runs on a computer today that can log realtime (every second f.ex) and export to standard files (tcx, fit and so on)?

Further, it would be nice if there was a way to show heartrate as % of max instead of bpm. In Norway % of max is the most common. My calculation skills are dramatically reduced when the bpm gets very high :-)

The Erg is an incredible piece of machine which I really love, and I hope there will be some improvements to the PMs in the furure.

Best regards from i technology nerd :-)

Tested this tonight. Downloaded the beta which supports fr610. Works like a charm. Some unstability, but not problematic under the workouts. :-)

The problem is it only transmit heartrate date. I would also like to have Watt and Strokes like the RowPro output.
