The system is not that good but I prefer to spend my time working on IpBike than trying to set up an alternative. It is at least good at keeping the spam away.

It is advisable to 'copy' before you try and post as the captcha stuff is a bit to agresive and the back buttone is not working for everyone.  You can at least then paste and have another go.

jasesun23 Posts: 4	May 08 2016, 20:33 I'm a little confused about how some of the checkboxes work. One example is setting up a "bike" for a outdoor run using the footpod. When I have GPS only check it always defaults to the footpod sensor for pace. I would think with the checkbox GPS only - no bike sensors.HR works either way checked it would ignore the foot pod for pace and distance. How would I go about setting it up so that it uses the footpod for cadence but GPS for speed and distance Also with my bike when I have GPS only check it used the sensors attached to the bike. It detects them and uses them even if that box is checked. What is the point of the check box under foot pod if it automatically uses it weather its checked or not? thanks Jay

HR sensors are looked for all the time whichever 'bike' so the setting has not effect on this. The main effect of the checkbox is the way the sensors are started and the way you get to select the 'bike' setup as described the bike will be selected automatically for you based off the sensors found. If you add the foot-pod sensor to the running 'bike' then you will get a new checkbox which lets you specify to use the gps for speed.
