Super_Ally 0 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Thinking of getting my dad some kind of GPS gadget for his bike, like runners with their HR monitors and watches. But not really got any experience of this for cyclists. What should I be looking at? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I've got a Motorola Motactv watch which has GPS tracking, Bluetooth internet connection via your smartphone to sync with online software; 8GB mp3 player; connection with optional Heart rate monitor, speedo or cadence sensor, accelerometer that works as a pedometer and more for about £120. You can use it for cycling, running or walking and now golf. Came with phones, wrist strap and belt clip. Just bought a bike mount for £7.50 from Evans. Haven't really used all the features properly yet but it seems pretty good for the money. In fact after looking here: http://www.motorola.com/us/consumers/8GB-or-16GB-MOTOACTV/79070,en_US,pd.html I think I need to upgrade the software and learn how to use it more. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Just notice there are new Android apps so that you can see calls and messages and talk via your headphones; and also another that gives weather forecasts. I need to get it all souped up... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
